Laura approaches each unique client with the understanding that healing and growth require more than just symptom management. Laura utilizes evidence based interventions like Cognitive Behavioral therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, while also taking a holistic approach to consider the whole person.

By understanding these interconnected factors, Laura tailors her therapeutic approach to meet each client where they are.
