Founder of Traverse Talk | Virtual Therapist Licensed in Six States

Since 2012, I’ve been dedicated to helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges with clarity and confidence. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), I specialize in couples therapy, anxiety management, family relations, and women's well-being. My approach is interactive and experiential, drawing from evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and art therapy techniques.

At Traverse Talk, a fully virtual practice, I support clients through crisis moments, career transitions, relationship challenges, and divorce recovery. I also design workbooks and curate retreats, providing deeper, transformative experiences beyond traditional therapy sessions.

I have a special passion for working with women in all stages of life, not just in leadership roles, but in navigating self-discovery, identity shifts, motherhood, relationships, career balance, and personal growth. Whether you're facing burnout, redefining yourself after a major life change, or simply seeking a space to process and heal, I offer a compassionate and empowering approach to help you reconnect with your strength and purpose.

Whether you're seeking strength in your relationships, emotional balance, or guidance through life's transitions, I’m here to help you move forward with insight and empowerment.

Let’s start your journey.

I hold a Masters in Marriage, Family, Child Counseling from San Francisco State University. I specialize in self-esteem and working with attachment-related trauma, which is sometimes referred to as complex trauma or inner child wounding. Complex trauma can often look like anxiety, depression, unhealthy patterns, or a cycle of unfulfilling relationships.

With 26 years of clinical experience as a licensed therapist in DC and Virginia, I support individuals navigating life’s complexities—from stress, trauma, and grief to fertility concerns, family dynamics, LGBTQIA+ experiences, anxiety, depression, and moments of transition.

As a proud Howard University graduate, my work is grounded in cultural humility, social justice, and a belief that mental health is inseparable from history, community, and lived experience. Howard taught me to see clients not just through symptoms, but as whole people shaped by family, identity, policy, and perseverance.

This perspective fuels my commitment to therapy as both a healing space and a form of liberation. My practice is anchored in integrity, guided by compassion, and centered on the dignity and humanity of every person I serve.

My name is Laura and I have been in the mental health field for over 20 years. I have worked with children as young as 5 through adulthood to age 85. I opened my practice in 2020 and have enjoyed being a therapist more than I thought I would. I have a Masters degree in Professional Counseling from Liberty University and a Bachelors degree in Psychology from Christopher Newport University.
