Hi, I'm Laura. I work with high-achievers and cycle breakers ready to heal from family trauma, burnout, and guilt. We'll unlearn the survival patterns you never chose, and reconnect you with who you are underneath them.

Carrying too much, too soon isn't new to me. Whether it came from your family or from years of professional pressure, I get it. My approach is compassionate, culturally responsive, and grounded in deep respect for what you've already survived.

You don't have to carry it alone anymore. Let's make room for your rest, your voice, and your joy.

Many of the people I work with are navigating profound turning points — preparing for adoption, navigating post adoption, moving through family transitions, or facing separations that reshape everything they've known. Others have quietly carried the weight of growing up without a strong family foundation, wondering why trusting others, or even themselves, still feels so hard. Whether you're a parent trying to show up for your child while processing your own pain, an adult learning to ask for what you need, or someone still figuring out who you are and what your purpose is, you've come to the right place.
