What is Losninger? It is a Danish word, meaning Solution. Danish, because my ancestors were immigrants to this country and seeking solutions to life's Journey. It may not seem like there is a solution for you and your family, however, there is. I help facilitate finding those solutions, tools, and growth!

Relationship counseling can be beneficial to couples who are looking to strengthen their emotional connection, in all stages of their relationship. Therapy sessions are held with couples in a supportive place to discuss issues and solutions to better strengthen their relationship. I use a humanistic approach with couples, helping with communication skill building and somatic skill strengthening.

For help with the complex care of Eating Disorders Laurel Lawson has experience diagnosing and treating the client, from doing an intake to assessments for higher levels of care. A body-positive anti-diet approach is used in conjunction with a referral to a anti-diet dietitian that I collaborate with.

Depression, fear, and anxiety are some of the most common and uncomfortable emotions that we can experience at some point in our lives. Through counseling and treatment, we are able to help you recover motivation, perspective, and joy that you once had in your life.

Many individuals can experience symptoms associated with painful and traumatic circumstances. Anxiety, fear, and hopelessness are a few emotions that can linger from post traumatic events. I can help you overcome these symptoms and guide you through the process of grief and healing. I use a treatment called EMDR that works extremely well with PTSD.

I create a calm and safe place to process. Our first session is mostly me listening and answering your questions. Let's meet and see if we are a good fit!
