Hello! I’m Laura, a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. I work with clients exploring their relationship with substances, LGBTQ+ identity, stress, relationship concerns, and recovery after cyber crimes. My practice is queer affirming, trauma-informed, and grounded in the belief that therapy should meet you where you are and honor your lived experience, autonomy, and goals.
My style is warm, collaborative, and compassionate. I practice from a harm reduction lens, and use motivational interviewing to help you better understand yourself and create change that feels meaningful to you. Depending on your goals, I may also integrate skills from DBT, CBT, and mindfulness.
In our first session, you can expect a warm and supportive space where we begin getting to know each other and what brings you to therapy. I'll be curious to learn what you want to be different and what brings you to therapy right now. My goal is for you to end our session feeling heard, and with a strong sense of whether working together feels like a good fit.
