About Laurie
She is credentialed as an LCMHC, which stands for Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor - a professional license that authorizes her to provide clinical counseling services. Over six years of professional experience in behavioral health have shaped her approach to working with individuals and couples on issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, attachment and abandonment concerns, and coping with major life changes.
As founder of Crowned For This Counseling and Consulting PLLC, Laurie blends clinical care with biblical wisdom when clients seek faith-integrated support. Her practice also addresses practical concerns like communication problems, caregiver stress, codependency, and compassion fatigue, offering coaching-style strategies alongside therapeutic work. Laurie aims to create a compassionate, structured space where clients can process difficult emotions, build healthier patterns, and pursue lasting emotional growth.

Together they set priorities, track progress, and choose interventions that feel most helpful.
