Hi, I’m Laura.

If you’re carrying more on the inside than you let people see, you might find that this is a good place to land. I work with teens and adults who feel overwhelmed by their inner world or unsure how to navigate big emotions. Many of my clients are thoughtful and self-aware, but still feel lost, stuck, or tired of trying to hold everything together on their own. If that sounds familiar, that’s where our work begins. We get curious about what’s showing up for you, how it makes sense, and what shifts might help you feel more grounded.

My approach is warm, steady, and collaborative. I don’t come in with a script or a rigid plan. I’m person-centered at my core, and I tailor our work to what you need rather than pushing you into something that doesn’t fit. I am certified in EMDR and trained in IFS-Informed EMDR, and I use these frameworks to help you understand your internal world, process what feels heavy, and move toward change that feels real and sustainable.

I grew up here in Louisville. I went to Assumption and played volleyball at KIVA before continuing my career at Loyola University Chicago, where I studied Psychology and played collegiate volleyball. Those years shaped a lot of who I am. They taught me about pressure, identity, expectations, and what it’s like to juggle a full emotional life underneath a busy outer one. If you are a teen or young adult navigating that same world, I get it.
