Family therapy and counseling in Tacoma, WA

Hello, I'm Laura. As a compassionate and experienced masters level counselor, I help individuals navigate their emotional struggles with evidence-based therapy.

I believe that healing occurs within the therapeutic relationship. I have always been an empathetic person who has been passionate about helping others solve problems and unlock the potential people didn't know they had. Eventually, I decided to make a career out of doing this. It's without a doubt, my life purpose. When you are ready to reach out, you will receive a warm, prompt and caring response.

Great to meet you!

I’m a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 13 years of patient care experience, specializing in anxiety, ADHD, depression, and trauma‐related concerns. I completed advanced graduate training in psychopharmacology and trauma‐informed care. I provide warm, collaborative medication management for adults and teens across Washington and New Jersey, through online sessions. My clinical philosophy is collaborative and compassionate. I believe treatment works best when clients feel heard, respected, and supported. Together, we’ll build a plan that feels safe, effective, and tailored to your needs.

I am a marriage and family therapist that works with couples / families to help them overcome their communication challenges. I specialize in helping couples and families navigate one of the most stressful and often unspoken challenges in relationships—financial strain. Money issues can create tension, conflict, and distance, but they don’t have to define your relationship. Together, we’ll work to understand what’s happening and develop practical, lasting solutions that fit your family. I am also extremely capable at helping with the additional relationship struggles of couples & families.

I also work extensively with couples in premarital therapy, helping you build a strong foundation before marriage. We’ll address communication, expectations, finances, and future planning so you feel confident moving forward together.

With over 17 years of experience as a marriage and family therapist, I focus on helping you not just talk about problems—but actually make meaningful changes. I use a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy to help you better understand your patterns, shift unhelpful thinking, and take clear, actionable steps toward improvement.

My approach is collaborative and practical. Every couple and family is different, and my goal is to help you find solutions that work for your unique situation—not a one-size-fits-all approach.

If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or caught in recurring conflict, you don’t have to figure it out alone. Change is possible, and we can work toward it together. My goal is to help you see measurable progress—not just talk about problems.

I'm a seasoned dually licensed therapist with over 10 years of clinical experience. I have worked with individuals who specifically suffer from addiction, borderline personality disorder, relationship issues, trauma, depression, anxiety, previously incarcerated and those in crisis. Iv also observed and supervised individuals in gaining their hours for licensure as well.

I work hard to be clinically informed and Christ centered in all that I do with my clients.
