Accepting New Clients
My aim is to provide a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where you can feel comfortable being fully yourself while you share your story. I believe therapy is an opportunity to better understand and accept yourself while developing the tools and confidence to navigate life’s challenges. I strive to offer encouragement, support, and empowerment as you move through difficult seasons of life.
I have experience working with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief and loss, women’s issues, trauma, and relationship concerns. My therapeutic approach is warm and collaborative, drawing from person-centered therapy, emotion-focused therapy, and EMDR. Together, we can explore your experiences, build emotional resilience, and develop greater awareness and capacity to cope with challenging emotions and circumstances.
I also enjoy incorporating creativity into therapy, using different artistic mediums to help clients explore and express their inner worlds. I believe therapy can be both a place for healing and a space for curiosity, growth, and self-discovery.
I am passionate about our community and excited to offer care at Radiant Counseling. I look forward to the opportunity to support you on your journey.

Get to know Laura
-
When I was a junior in high school, a loved one started therapy after their childhood trauma surfaced as an adult. I witnessed the way therapy changed their life and I knew I wanted to help people in the same way in the future.
-
Evening walks around my neighborhood, picnics with my family, film photography, or a cup of tea - all things that keep me present.

I am inspired and challenged by Mary Oliver’s poetry:
“I don’t ask the sights in front of me to change, only the depth of my seeing.” - Mary Oliver
“To pay attention, this is our endless and proper work.” - Mary Oliver (Yes! No!, 2003)

I have 35 houseplants, my favorite being a philodendron brasil.
