You don’t need to earn rest, or have the perfect words. We can start exactly where you are.

✦ About Laura
A little more about me
I founded LAURA after more than a decade working in community mental health and private practice. I wanted to create the kind of space I would want for myself: calm, unhurried and genuinely warm.
My clients are often the people everyone else leans on — caring, capable, and quietly exhausted. Together we slow down, notice what your mind and body are telling you, and build practical tools you can use between sessions.
Outside the therapy room you’ll find me walking by the lake, reading poetry or attempting (and mostly failing) to keep my sourdough starter alive.
