Hi, I'm Laira and I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor dedicated to creating a safe, compassionate space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences without judgment. My goal is to understand your unique story and help you develop strategies you need to heal, grow, and thrive. I help people understand themselves better, manage life stressors, and build healthier relationships with others and themselves.
Therapy with me would be down-to-earth, collaborative, and centered around what genuinely matters to you. I take an integrative approach as I recognize that each client has their own unique needs but I will often use CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), DBT (Dialectical behavioral therapy), and solution focused approaches. No matter what approach, I will be there to support you and challenge you when needed along the journey.
A first session would look like me getting to know you and your goals. The main focus would be making you feel comfortable and getting a sense of what the focus in therapy may be. I will explain what you can expect from our sessions and provide any answers to questions about the process you may have. From there we will work together in sessions to begin working towards those goals!
