Hi, I'm Laura, and I help individuals struggling with trauma, anxiety, substance use, and depression. I provide a safe space to get started working on things that feel difficult and messy. I have specialized experience treating trauma, substance use, and those involved in car accidents or struggling with TBIs and chronic pain. I have worked in individual outpatient therapy settings, residential psychiatric and substance use settings, and inpatient hospital settings, serving those struggling with a wide range of mental health difficulties.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Board-Approved Supervisor in Texas and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in Minnesota and Alabama, with over 9 years of experience. In addition to my clinical practice, I serve as a Master of Social Work (MSW) professor, which allows me to stay connected to current research and best practices for my clients.

I have a doctorate of education from National University, a Master of Social Work from the University of Southern California, and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Troy University. I decided to become a therapist after experiencing the life-changing benefits of therapy myself, and dropped out of law school to pursue this career

Therapist

I provide experiential-based counseling services for all ages. It is important to me that you have an experience in therapy that is uniquely yours. Standard talk therapy is not for everyone and that is why I offer other options that you may find more therapeutic and beneficial. During your intake consultation, I will help you choose a path that will best meet your needs.

Therapist

Virtual • Alabama


I’m an independently licensed therapist in Alabama, and my background includes working full-time as a substance use counselor while also providing evening virtual therapy. I especially enjoy working with teens and adults, and I’m drawn to this work because I believe therapy should help people feel more free, more grounded, and more like themselves again. It means a lot to me when someone trusts me with the parts of their life that feel messy, painful, or overwhelming. I want therapy to feel like a space where you can be honest, feel respected, and begin building real momentum toward the life you want.
