Laura builds individualized conversations and treatment plans that reflect each person’s unique situation and goals. She aims to create a space where clients can explore emotions, patterns, and practical steps for change without judgment.

Her practice emphasizes collaboration, tailoring interventions to meet individual needs, and supporting clients as they work toward clearer understanding and more effective coping.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Laura uses a range of evidence-informed approaches to meet different needs. Dialectical Behavior Therapy - DBT - focuses on building practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerating distress; it can be especially helpful for people struggling with emotion regulation and relationship challenges.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing - EMDR - is a trauma-focused method that helps people process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity, often used for those who have experienced abuse or other traumatic events.

Psychodynamic therapy explores how past experiences and unconscious patterns influence current feelings and relationships, supporting deeper self-understanding and longer-term change. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process - the therapist will work with each client to identify the best fit based on needs, goals, and personal preferences, and adjustments can be made as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to access regular support around work, family, or travel schedules. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to remote formats so clients can pursue meaningful progress from wherever they are.
