About Laura
She began her career in healthcare and spent many years working with patients and teams at a major cancer center. That time shaped how she blends emotional care with everyday routines. Laura also trained as a health and wellness coach and uses that background to help clients set realistic goals and try new habits.
The work combines short-term tools and deeper processing. Clients learn skills for managing difficult emotions and also make sense of painful life events. She uses mindfulness and cognitive strategies to reduce distress and strengthen daily coping.
For people who carry trauma or intense memories, she offers approaches intended to relieve the hold of those experiences so life can feel more manageable. Laura also supports people navigating caregiving demands, chronic illness, and end-of-life concerns with practical guidance and steady attention to what matters most.
Sessions tend to focus on building strengths, improving communication, and creating small, doable changes. She encourages experimentation - trying something, noticing how it feels, and adjusting. The first conversations are practical and focused on what the person hopes to change.

Approaches that translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy helps people understand patterns in relationships and how early connections shape current responses. It often focuses on creating safer ways to seek support and to improve communication.Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's goals and experience and emphasizes listening, acceptance, and collaboration. This approach supports people who need a steady, respectful space to make sense of a difficult period.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches concrete skills for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress and often includes practical homework between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them over time based on what works.
If you want online sessions, please confirm the available formats before booking because they are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, save travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people meet from a familiar setting. Many therapists help clients structure sessions and homework so progress continues between meetings.
