Great to meet you!

I love helping people gain new perspectives, change their thought patterns, and learn to cope with negative emotions and life stressors. I began helping people with these issues as a family intervention specialist and case manager in 2005 and have been a professional counselor since 2013. I opened McLaughlin Counseling, PLLC in 2018. I specialize in the treatment of trauma.

My approach to therapy

I offer trauma-informed care and use techniques from various treatment models depending on the needs of each individual client. My favorite treatment model is Solution Focused Brief Therapy.

What you can expect from me

Our first session will give us both the opportunity to get to know each other as we discuss your most desired outcomes and hopes.
