Reaching out can be overwhelming, whether this is your first time seeking therapy or you simply feel that life is too much right now. My goal is to make the therapy process approachable and organic by combining openness, humor, and authenticity.

My work is tailored to each client’s unique needs and lived experience. I take an integrative approach that draws from Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Exposure and Response Prevention, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. That means learning real-life skills to manage emotions and building a life that feels more aligned with what matters most to you. I also incorporate attachment-based therapy to explore how past experiences influence your current emotions and behaviors.

As an LGBTQ+ and Poly/ENM allied counselor, my priority is to provide an inclusive and affirming therapeutic space for couples and individuals.

Outside of work, I aim to create connection and comfort wherever I can. I enjoy reading, spending time with friends, and live music.

Laura is seeing clients in our Athens office and via telehealth . She is in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield, Anthem, Alliant, Kaiser,  and Aetna insurance.
