About
Laura
By exploring challenges through solution-focused language, I strive to create sessions that are engaging and connecting. I emphasize gaining a deeper understanding of your unique symptoms and triggers. Because our current outlook is so heavily shaped by past experiences, we will examine patterns and explore goals. Together, we will focus on building meaningful relationships and actionable steps toward your healing.
I find joy in exploring California’s beaches and hiking trails. I find nature to be incredibly healing. A perpetual student, I am often reading a book or listening to a podcast and am happy to share my favorites with you.
