With a focus on helping individuals heal from deep trauma and cultivate healthy relationships with themselves and others, Laura provides a safe and non-judgmental space for clients to explore their experiences. 

Laura's therapeutic approach is grounded in empathy, professionalism, and a playful yet gentle demeanor that puts clients at ease.

Trauma and Complex PTSD (CPTSD)

One of Laura's core specialties is trauma, specifically Complex PTSD (CPTSD). Trauma affects not only the mind but also the body and spirit, creating long-lasting effects that can influence daily life, relationships, and self-perception. Laura works with clients to gently unpack their traumatic experiences and understand how they impact their present lives. She uses trauma-informed practices, guiding clients through the healing process at their own pace. With patience and compassion, Laura helps individuals develop coping strategies, process painful memories, and move toward a place of empowerment and resilience.

Whether you are healing from childhood trauma, sexual abuse, or a history of abusive relationships, Laura provides the support and expertise to help you break free from past pain and reclaim your sense of self.

Healthy Sexuality and Asexuality

Understanding and embracing one’s sexuality can be both a beautiful and challenging journey. Laura is passionate about helping individuals explore and embrace their sexual identities, whether they are navigating questions of healthy sexuality or identifying as asexual. She believes that healthy sexuality is not a one-size-fits-all concept but is deeply personal and rooted in individual values and experiences.

For those identifying as asexual, Laura offers a space free of judgment to explore what this identity means for them, how it fits into their lives, and how they can communicate their needs in relationships. Her therapeutic approach allows clients to understand themselves better, explore intimacy in a way that feels right for them, and cultivate a sense of peace with their sexuality.

Sexual Abuse and Intimate Partner Violence

Laura specializes in working with survivors of sexual abuse and intimate partner violence, providing a compassionate, trauma-informed approach. She understands the shame, guilt, and fear that can accompany these experiences and works closely with survivors to process their trauma, rebuild their sense of safety, and reclaim their power.

By creating a therapeutic environment that fosters trust and safety, Laura helps clients explore their emotions, set boundaries, and develop healthy relationships moving forward. Survivors of sexual abuse and intimate partner violence often face unique challenges in rebuilding their lives, and Laura’s expertise provides the roadmap to healing and growth.

Troubled Teen Industry (TTI) and High Control Group Survivors

Survivors of the troubled teen industry (TTI) and high control groups face distinct emotional and psychological challenges. These environments often involve manipulation, abuse, and isolation, which can leave individuals feeling disconnected from their true selves. Laura is dedicated to helping survivors of these experiences process their trauma, break free from the lingering effects of control and shame, and rediscover their autonomy.

Having worked extensively with individuals from high control groups and TTI survivors, Laura provides a safe space to unpack the complex emotions that come with these experiences. She helps her clients rebuild their lives, regain their sense of independence, and develop the skills necessary to move forward.

LGBTQIA+ Affirming Therapy

Laura is deeply committed to providing LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy. She recognizes the importance of creating a therapeutic space where individuals of all sexual orientations and gender identities feel safe, supported, and celebrated. Whether you're exploring your identity, facing societal pressures, or navigating relationships, Laura is here to support you with nonjudgmental and affirming care.

Her work with the LGBTQIA+ community is rooted in both personal understanding and professional expertise, ensuring that clients feel seen and understood as they explore their unique experiences. Laura helps individuals navigate the challenges of coming out, transitioning, or addressing identity-related concerns with grace and dignity.

Sex and Love Addiction

For those struggling with sex and love addiction, Laura offers a path toward healing and recovery. Sex and love addiction can create feelings of shame, isolation, and self-doubt, but through her compassionate, client-centered approach, Laura helps individuals develop healthier relationships with themselves and others.

Her therapy focuses on understanding the root causes of addictive behaviors, helping clients identify triggers, and guiding them through the process of creating boundaries and fostering meaningful connections. Laura supports her clients in building a life where intimacy and connection are healthy, fulfilling, and grounded in mutual respect.
