About Me

I’m Laura, a trauma-informed mental health clinician, ordained minister, and blossoming death doula. I work at the intersection of psychology, spirituality, and human transformation, supporting people through trauma, life transitions, grief, and deep identity shifts.

My approach is grounded in clinical training and expanded through lived experience, spiritual exploration, and years of walking alongside people in their most vulnerable moments. I graduated with a Master’s in Counseling from Regis University with honors, where I served as President of the Honor Society, and I’ve been in my own personal therapy journey for over two decades. I believe deeply in what I ask clients to do: to stay curious, honest, and willing to grow.

I work with people who are often highly sensitive, self-aware, and exhausted from carrying too much for too long. Many of my clients are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma histories, relationship struggles, or major life transitions that leave them questioning who they are and how to move forward.

What brings people to my practice is often not just symptoms, but a deeper longing for clarity, grounding, and reconnection with themselves.

How I Work

My work blends evidence-based trauma therapies with a deeply human and attuned presence. I integrate Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR-informed therapy, somatic awareness, and deep listening. This allows us to work with both the mind and the body, gently accessing the places where pain, protection, and healing live.

Sessions are collaborative and paced with care. We don’t rush healing. We listen for what is ready to shift, and we build safety first so real change can happen without overwhelm.

Over time, clients often experience less internal conflict, more emotional regulation, stronger boundaries, and a clearer sense of who they are beneath survival patterns. Many describe feeling more connected to themselves, more at peace in their relationships, and more able to trust their own inner guidance.

My Philosophy

I believe you are not broken. You are adaptive.

Your patterns make sense in the context they were formed in, and healing is not about fixing yourself, but understanding yourself so deeply that something new becomes possible.

I also believe that healing is not only psychological, but deeply human and, for many people, spiritual. We are meaning-making beings. We heal through relationship, truth, presence, and sometimes humor when things get too heavy to hold alone.

You are the expert on your own life. My role is to help you reconnect with that knowing and strengthen your ability to trust it again.

A Little More About Me

Outside of clinical work, I am also an ordained minister and death doula. I support people in end-of-life transitions and believe that how we meet grief, loss, and change shapes how we live.

I am also a mother, a seeker, and someone who has learned through lived experience that healing is not linear and rarely neat. I value honesty over perfection, presence over performance, and truth over appearance.
