Traumatic experiences exact a heavy toll, and not just in the moment. Symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and complex PTSD (CPTSD) can last for weeks, months, even years after the event. I would be honored to walk the path of healing with you, supporting you as you reclaim your vitality and establish a genuine sense of connection with yourself, others, your body, and your soul. While my therapeutic approach is eclectic, Somatic Experiencing is foundational to my work. SE is a body-oriented and naturalistic approach to the resolution and healing of trauma, developed by Dr. Peter Levine. By supporting you to connect with your body and develop trust in its innate capacity to heal, we can access and address the trauma that lingers in your nervous system. This allows you to work through painful feelings of anger, guilt, or shame, as well as somatic symptoms like headaches, chronic pain, digestive distress, and sleep difficulties. My clients have included adults abused as children, domestic and sexual violence survivors, veterans, first responders, those leaving high-control groups, incarcerated offenders, and LGBTQ+ people, among others. It takes a great deal of courage to reach out for help; for that, I commend you. I look forward to partnering with you on your healing journey.

It’s not natural to live in a perpetual state of discontent and anxiety. Yet, this seems to be your experience lately. Your life feels incompatible with the way you dream about feeling in your wildest heart. Many days are spent going through the motions, bobbing along the surface hoping you don’t get pulled under. On these days you wonder if your vision of the life you’ve dreamed is merely a mirage in the desert…but you don’t believe so- something tells you there’s more. You have found success by many standards, yet you feel blocked from accessing more joy, ease, contentment, and embodiment of the things you picture yourself to be. I offer a unique combination of methods and modalities to help you access your full potential and FEEL better. My toolkit as your guide includes Somatic Experiencing, Equine Assisted therapy and coaching, nature informed therapy, attachment and relational healing, mindfulness, and parts work (IFS). In our work together, my hope is to empower you to heal patterns in that hold you back from the relationships you desire and the purpose filled life you've imagined from yourself. Together we will honor and heal what keeps you stuck, and expand your ability to feel joy, purpose, connection, and presence. I look forward to speaking with you!

You’ve experienced a great loss or significant trauma and your world feels dark and confusing. You feel lost, overwhelmed, anxious, angry, numb, and exhausted – often all at the same time. You’re wondering who you are now and if you’ll ever feel like yourself again. I get it. I’ve experienced it. Grief and traumatic stress are messy and unruly, and they definitely don’t obey clearly defined stages or fit neatly into any timeframe. Still, as painful as this is to hear, grief is normal, natural, and necessary. And, healing from a traumatic experience is possible. You don’t have to face either alone. I’d be honored to walk with you. While I don’t have magic words to quickly end your anguish or cure your grief (because those words don’t exist), what I do offer is a place where it can be truly seen. A place to honor your love, your loss, and your experience, speak without fear of judgment, be respected for the pace and shape of your journey, and feel supported along the way. I use office-based and equine-assisted counseling to help you identify healthy ways of acknowledging your grief or trauma, coping with it, and learning to carry it when you’re ready to move forward. Ultimately, we’ll work together to help you feel like your life has meaning and purpose that honors your experience and isn’t solely defined by it.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Clinical Supervisor in AZ, I have gained over 35 years of “intrinsic value” helping adults, couples, and groups, manage stress, trauma, grief, mood, thoughts, various addiction cycles, suicidality, self-harm, reentry, and life transitions. I provide a “trauma-informed” approach by meeting you where you’re at, validating your experience, empowering breakthroughs to barriers that may be holding you back, and walking alongside as you gain valuable tools for success. I will show you “truth” (even when hard to see) and challenge your “perspective” to facilitate a strong foundation for healing. I also serve as a Person-Centered Clinical Supervisor for individuals seeking to become independently licensed therapists in the state of Arizona using individual and group supervision models. Having done my own personal work, which I believe is imperative for all behavioral health professionals, I strive for balance and wholeness for my supervisees.

It's important to find the right therapist you can trust. I have worked as a therapist for 38 years to help people heal and grow into who they really are. We are created with natural instincts to connect, trust, and love. When we experience early suffering, distress, or trauma, it disrupts our development, and we develop strategies to deal with the challenges and pain. The NARM approach assists us in coming back to our God-given nature by exploring how we adapted to survive difficult circumstances as children. This awareness helps connect us to our ability to choose how we want to respond to life and its challenges. As a therapist, my specialties address relationship issues, addictions, depression, finances and trauma. Laura is dedicated to providing high quality therapeutic experiences by co-designing individualized intensives, retreats and workshops with clients to meet their unique needs and goals. My Christian faith may add to your experience, and I can include spirituality in the counseling experience. NARM (NeuroAffective Relational Model) is a client-led and simplistic approach to treating complex issues.
