I’m Laura, a licensed therapist with 13 years of experience helping adults navigate life transitions, stress, and personal growth. I work with athletes, college students, new parents, and adults who want support managing challenges, building resilience, and finding balance. My approach is grounded, practical, and compassionate, drawing on my professional training as well as real-life experience. I create a safe space where clients feel heard, understood, and supported.
If you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, stress, or struggles with alcohol or substance use, you don’t have to figure it all out on your own. I help adults work through difficult seasons, understand what’s keeping them stuck, and find healthier ways forward. Whether you’re adjusting to a loss, feeling overwhelmed, or ready to make a change, therapy can help you feel more grounded, hopeful, and in control of your life.
I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families. I treat a wide range of mental health challenges including anxiety and stress, mood disorders, trauma, depression, coping with chronic illness, military family life, and life transitions. I have 30 years of working with service members, families and support system members.
I believe the best mental health care begins with trust, compassion, and open communication. My goal is to create a safe, supportive environment where you feel comfortable sharing your experiences without fear of judgment.
I understand that reaching out for help isn't always easy, and I strive to meet each person where they are. Whether you're experiencing anxiety, depression, mood changes, life transitions, trauma, ADHD, or simply feeling overwhelmed, we'll work together to develop a treatment plan that fits your goals, values, and lifestyle.
I take a collaborative approach to care, combining evidence-based medication management with supportive therapy, education, and practical coping strategies. I want my clients to understand not only what we're treating but why certain treatments may be beneficial, so they feel informed and involved in every decision.
With years of experience in psychiatric care across inpatient and outpatient settings, I've worked with individuals facing a wide range of mental health challenges. I believe healing isn't about being perfect—it's about making meaningful progress, building resilience, and finding balance in everyday life.
My hope is that every client leaves our appointments feeling heard, respected, and supported.
My practice is a good fit for clients who are looking for:
- Compassionate, nonjudgmental care
- Medication management with education and shared decision-making
- Practical tools to manage symptoms and improve daily functioning
- A provider who listens and works collaboratively
- Long-term support focused on sustainable mental wellness
I look forward to partnering with you on your journey toward better mental health.
Hi, I’m Lauren, an LCSW who provides individual sex therapy for adult women through telehealth. I help women who are struggling with low or absent sexual desire, desire differences within relationships, difficulty with arousal or orgasm, painful sex, sexual shame, and difficulty communicating about sex.
You may love your partner and still wonder, “Why don’t I want sex anymore?” You may feel pressured, disconnected from your body, embarrassed talking about sex, or unsure what you even want sexually. These concerns are more common than many women realize, and therapy offers a private, judgment-free place to understand what may be contributing to them.
My goal is not to tell you how often you should have sex or what your sex life should look like. Instead, we’ll work toward helping you better understand your sexuality, identify your needs, strengthen your sense of choice and agency, and create a sexual life that feels authentic and satisfying to you.
Starting therapy is a big step, and if you've made it this far, you're doing an amazing job. You've recognized that you need assistance navigating life, and I'm here to help you understand yourself better. I work with adults struggling with depression, anxiety, substance abuse, perinatal mental health, self-esteem, and other conditions.
I've always been told I'm easy to talk to, and I have a deep desire to help people become the best versions of themselves. I love seeing my clients gain confidence and become empowered to not only survive, but to thrive and become truly comfortable in their skin. Together, we can get you to your happy place.
I am a licensed therapist specializing in anxiety, trauma, addiction and relationship challenges. I work with children, adolescents and adults to create a supportive space where healing and growth feel possible.
