While operating primarily from a psychodynamic orientation, Laura also draws upon a range of other complementary approaches, including existentialist and cognitive-behavioral techniques. Laura has a particular interest in depth-oriented approaches, and emphasizes development of client insight, self-integration and self-acceptance. She believes that in looking at the parts of ourselves we unknowingly seek to avoid, we can learn to engage in the world in a more authentic and fulfilling way.
