THERAPY FOR:

Birth Trauma
& Postpartum Mental Health

Postpartum and motherhood can bring immense joy, but they can also present unique emotional and psychological challenges, especially for those who have experienced birth trauma. Specialized care for mothers during this time is crucial, as it provides tailored support to address the specific needs of new parents.โ€‹.

THERAPY FOR:

Narcissistic Abuse Recovery

Recovering from narcissistic abuse can leave you feeling anxious, confused, emotionally exhausted, and unsure of who you are. Whether you've experienced narcissistic abuse in a romantic relationship, family, or other close relationship, therapy can help you understand trauma bonds, rebuild self-esteem, set healthy boundaries, and regain trust in yourself. Together, we'll process the effects of emotional abuse, break unhealthy relationship patterns, and help you move toward healing, confidence, and lasting emotional freedom.

THERAPY FOR:

Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents

Growing up with an emotionally immature parent can leave lasting effects that continue into adulthood, including people-pleasing, difficulty setting boundaries, chronic self-doubt, and feeling responsible for everyone else's emotions.

 

An emotionally immature parent may have struggled with addiction or alcoholism, untreated mental illness, narcissistic traits, explosive anger, emotional neglect, unpredictability, or an inability to provide consistent emotional support. Therapy can help you understand how these childhood experiences shaped your relationships, heal from family dysfunction and childhood emotional neglect, and build a stronger sense of self. Together, we'll help you break unhealthy patterns, develop healthier relationships, and create a life that feels authentic, secure, and emotionally fulfilling.

Get to know the Therapist 

Hi, fellow self-healer!

I'm Laura, a compassionate and neurodivergent therapist who’s passionate about supporting individuals through life’s challenges. I believe in creating a warm, welcoming space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported without judgment.

 

As a mother, I understand the balance of juggling responsibilities, and as a creative, I enjoy finding innovative ways to connect with and empower my clients. โ€‹My approach is rooted in relatability, empathy, and a deep commitment to helping you navigate your unique journey. It is never my job to tell you what to do or how to live your life; rather, I’m here to walk alongside you with kind curiosity, care and understanding. 

โ€‹

Outside of therapy, I'm a bit of a crafty soul, always exploring new DIY projects and creative outlets. I am currently working on my own memoir along with some other fun projects that I hope will ultimately benefit my clients.

โ€‹

Whether you are totally new to the idea of therapy or have previously experienced the gift of therapy, I am so glad you're here. This likely means that showing up for yourself in a new way has been on your mind, and oh, what a phenomenal gift that is. 

โ€‹

โ€‹

โ€‹

warmly, Laura

ARE YOU READY TO 
TRULY FLOURISH?

Commitment to a therapeutic journey is a deeply self-loving, self-honoring act. It is an act of self-acknowledgement; a personal choice to respect one's own needs, desires and goals.

โ€‹

Choosing therapy means that you are choosing yourself -

dedicating time, energy and resources to your healing and personal fulfillment.โ€‹

If you're a survivor seeking healing and support, you don’t have to navigate this journey alone. Together, we can create a safe, compassionate space for you to process your experiences, rebuild trust, and move toward a life of resilience and empowerment.

Your story matters. Every bit of it deserves to be heard - even the messy, scary, overwhelming parts.
