Sometimes there will be days where everything is blurry and just feels gloomy. However, the sessions help my daughter understand the frustration of things. Sometimes the reality kicks in when someone else says rather than the parent and these sessions help my daughter understand we are not the bad guys.

Kids communicate through play, creativity, and emotion—long before words can always catch up. In my work with children, I use play therapy, CBT, and DBT-informed approaches to help them express what’s hard to say, manage big feelings, and build real coping tools that last beyond the therapy room. I became a therapist because I know what a difference it makes when a child feels truly seen and understood. My goal is to create that space for every child I work with—a place built on trust, play, and genuine care

My 11-year-old autistic son has always been emotionally closed off because he lacks the language. Within weeks with Laura, he began using drawings to express feelings and voluntarily sharing them. She built trust fast, respects his consent, and is responsive between sessions. She also makes time for parent check-ins, which has been invaluable. When he was sick, I offered to reschedule his session with her. He said no instantly. That tells me everything. Best decision we’ve made for our family.

A Safe Space for Healing, Even When Words Aren’t Enough Virtual therapy shouldn't feel like a chore—it should feel like a relief. As a "chameleon" clinician, I adapt my energy to meet your child exactly where they are. Whether they are shut down or acting out in fear, I create a non-judgmental space where even the "scariest" emotions are welcome. I specialize in working with children and teens navigating the aftermath of physical and sexual abuse. I know that trauma often looks like anger or violence; I see that as a cry for safety, not a "bad kid." My Tools: Art & Play Therapy: I use my own healing journey as a bridge. The art you see behind me was my voice when I suppressed my own pain for years. I help kids use creativity to speak when words feel impossible. Mindfulness & CBT: We work on grounding the body and reclaiming control over "big" thoughts and reactions. Our Partnership: Healing from trauma is a team effort. I don’t just work with your child; I partner with you to turn our sessions into a roadmap for safety and peace at home. Let’s work together to help your child find their voice and heal their inner self.
