Laura works with clients on a wide range of presenting concerns, including depression, anger, shame, grief and loss, anxiety, perfectionistic thinking, relationship difficulties and self-doubt. Laura is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, and has worked with adults, couples, families and teens in a variety of settings for over ten years. Laura brings patience, open-mindedness and a sense of humor to the therapeutic relationship.
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.
