I believe meaningful change begins with feeling understood. As both a therapist and Air Force veteran, I value authenticity, resilience, and the importance of genuine human connection. Clients often describe me as approachable, thoughtful, and direct when needed. I strive to create a space where you can show up as you are and feel supported as you work toward your goals.

I work with adults and older teens navigating addiction, trauma, co-occurring mental health concerns, and life transitions. I am experienced in supporting veterans, first responders, and those impacted by a loved one's substance use. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready for change, my goal is to help you better understand your experiences and move forward with greater confidence.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 4.2 mi away • Colorado Springs, CO


Hello, and thank you for stopping by! Whether you’re new to therapy or looking for a fresh start, I’m glad you’re here. I believe healing begins with feeling genuinely seen, heard, and understood. As a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado with training in EMDR, I provide a warm, collaborative space where you can explore your experiences, process life’s challenges, and develop a deeper understanding of yourself.

I believe therapy is a collaborative process, and my role is to walk alongside you as you explore your story, identify your strengths, and create meaningful change. Together, we’ll work to understand the experiences that have shaped you, build self-compassion, and develop tools to help you navigate challenges with greater confidence and clarity. Whether we meet virtually or in person, I strive to create a space where you can show up as your authentic self without fear of judgment. We’ll move at a pace that feels right for you, honoring both the growth and the difficult moments along the way.

My approach is person-centered and strength-based, drawing from evidence-based approaches including EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I specialize in working with adults navigating anxiety, ADHD, perfectionism, burnout, trauma, life transitions, identity exploration, and healing from emotionally critical or invalidating environments.

Many of the clients I work with are thoughtful, driven individuals who may feel overwhelmed by the expectations they place on themselves or who are struggling to reconnect with who they are beneath the pressure, stress, or experiences that have shaped them. I believe you are the expert on your own life, and therapy can be a place to better understand yourself, strengthen your relationship with yourself, and move toward a life that feels more authentic and fulfilling.

Hi, I’m Laura and I specialize in helping women and teens heal from trauma, whether it shows up as anxiety, overthinking, people-pleasing, or feeling completely disconnected from themselves. I experienced trauma growing up and know firsthand how it impacts the whole body.

Through Somatic therapy, Brainspotting, and EMDR, I help clients release what’s stuck in their bodies and rebuild trust in themselves—because healing isn’t about “getting over it,” it’s about feeling safe again.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Denver, CO


Are you a parent, pregnant, or thinking about starting a family? Or, are you in your late teens / early 20s and trying to figure out who you are as you head into adulthood? I'm passionate about the process of becoming - whether that's matrescence (the transition to motherhood & parenthood), or adolescence (the transition to adulthood). I have over 10 years of experience working with young people as an international/wilderness guide and clinician. My own experiences with pregnancy, postpartum and parenthood led me to seek out specialized training in supporting folks in this transition. Current openings for in-person therapy on Thursdays at my office located in South Denver near DU. Schedule a free consult call with me to see if it's a good fit!
