Introduction

HELLO! I’m Laura. I'm passionate about helping people improve their Present by addressing their Past. People describe my style as collaborative, warm, direct, goal-focused, patient, and thorough. I help clients in their work toward self-esteem, healthy relationships, grounded communication, stress management, improved mood, and access to services/resources. EXPERIENCE & APPROACH I have extensive experience in–but don’t limit my work to–trauma therapy. I use an integrated and evidence-based approach of non-gaslighting CBT, EMDR, IFS, and somatic/mind-body techniques. My frameworks include anti-classism, anti-racism, harm-reduction, intersectional feminism, and disability-informed and trauma-informed care. If you have questions about these terms, feel free to ask in a free consultation (details below). PERSONAL VALUES I bring to sessions: unconditional positive regard, integrity, exploring the context and not just the individual, challenging someone with compassion, lifelong work on my own biases and blindspots, and openness to feedback. COMMUNITIES SERVED Communities I belong to and am experienced in serving: disabled/chronic illness, sex positive, kink/polyam/alternative lifestyle, genderqueer, fat positive, and neurodivergent folks. Happy to serve folks from other groups too of course! SESSION DETAILS Sessions are remote (video only) and for clients physically present anywhere in California. I work with families with folks of any age, or adults age 18+ only, but I do not work with individual minors. FREE CONSULTATION For a free video consultation, you can call, or book now via website. On top right of website, or very bottom of website, Click "Request Appointment" --> "Free New-Client Consult." P.S. I LOVE CATS I support clients in setting better boundaries in their lives, but I'm a total hypocrite when it comes to my senior rescue kittie. She wants constant company, 2am playtime, and 80% of my pillow at night; I say Yes to all of it! P.P.S.
