Focus Areas

“My clients often tell me that I’m very grounded and down-to-earth but ultimately, I’m inspired by them. My brave and vulnerable clients inform my holistic approach to mental health and wellness; the great strides I’ve witnessed tell me that my favorite modalities and good old-fashioned tuned-in attention and care work. They really work! My therapeutic method is designed to help you let go of what’s holding you back and create a more authentic version of who you are.”

More About Laura

Strengthen Relationships, Foster Healing, and Build Lasting Connections

Welcome! I help couples and families create stronger, healthier relationships. Whether you’re navigating conflict, rebuilding trust, or working to improve family dynamics, I provide compassionate, evidence-based therapy that helps you create deeper emotional connections and achieve long-term growth.

I provide couples therapy as well as family therapy for those with teens (ages 13 and up) and adult children. I’ve trained extensively in the Gottman Method, EFT for couples, and Emotionally Focused Family Therapy, which forms the core of my practice. My approach is deeply trauma-informed to ensure each client’s unique experiences are respected. 

Trauma-Informed Healing for Relationships

Every relationship is shaped by individual experiences, and past trauma can play a significant role in how we connect with others. Together, we work to uncover and address the underlying patterns — often rooted in past experiences — that impact your relationships today. I prioritize creating a safe, supportive environment where all clients are seen, valued, and heard, creating a foundation for healing and meaningful change.

With couples, I focus on rebuilding trust, improving communication, and strengthening emotional intimacy using proven approaches like the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). With families, my training in Emotionally Focused Family Therapy helps address conflict, heal old wounds, and build supportive relationships across generations.

While my primary focus is couples and family therapy, I also bring experience as a hypnotherapist and coach. These approaches can complement therapy, particularly for addressing subconscious patterns and fostering confidence in navigating personal challenges.

Supporting Visionaries, Entrepreneurs, and Dreamers

I am especially passionate about working with entrepreneurs, business owners, and visionaries—those who strive to balance ambition, creativity, and personal well-being. I understand the stress, burnout, and immense drive that come with building something extraordinary. My approach helps you cultivate resilience, foster fulfilling relationships, and rediscover joy as you pursue your dreams.

My Professional Experience and Journey

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Washington State Approved Clinical Supervisor with over a decade of experience helping couples and families in the Seattle area. My career began with hypnotherapy and life coaching in 2011, which inspired me to pursue an MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2015. The additional training allowed me to deepen my expertise and expand my work to include trauma-informed care, couples therapy, and family therapy.
