About me

Hello! My name is Laura. I have a master's degree in family psychology and I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Texas. I have over 16 years experience working in the mental health field. I have had experience working with families, children, teens and adults individually and in groups in a variety of settings; community mental health, schools and home-based treatment. I have the most experience working with depression, anxiety, family/relationship conflicts, parenting issues, life transitions, and trauma/abuse. I also have experience working with intellectual/developmental disabilities and mild autism.

I would describe my style as warm and supportive. I use a person-centered and integrative approach in treatment. This means I begin where you are and tailor the treatment approach to your needs while being sensitive to how your individual cultural identities and lifestyle choices impact your experience. I primarily use evidence based techniques including cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, solution-focused counseling and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, when appropriate.

Laura is amazing! I am so thankful. She took the time to help me figure out what I was feeling and how it was affecting my parenting. She asked all the right questions and guided me to the answers that I needed (good or bad.) I feel more equipped to handle life now!
