Practice Manager

I’m Laura, a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist. As a queer and neurodivergent therapist, I know how important it is to have a space where you can feel fully seen and accepted. My work is grounded in compassion, respect, and the belief that healing happens when we’re able to bring our whole selves into the room.

I am committed to providing inclusive, affirming care for people of all identities and backgrounds. My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your experiences openly, knowing you will be met with openness, understanding, and support.

I specialize in supporting neurodivergent clients, members of the LGBTQIA+ community, and people navigating OCD, trauma, and substance use concerns. I also provide comprehensive assessments, including mental health, substance use, OCD, ADHD, and autism.

I hold advanced training in trauma (CCTP-II) as well as ketamine and psychedelic therapies (C-KAP, C-PTI). While I am not currently offering ketamine-assisted therapy, I continue to consult with providers who are practicing in this evolving field.

My therapeutic approach is collaborative, evidence-informed, and person-centered. I aim to create a safe and supportive space for clients to build insight, develop coping strategies, and move toward meaningful change—meeting you where you are, honoring your lived experience, and working together at a pace that feels right for you.
