Hello and welcome to the first step on your journey to wellness. My name is Laura and I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor since 2006. Originally from the Northern part of the country, I received my undergraduate degree in Child Psychology from the University of Minnesota. Upon moving to Oklahoma in 2003, I continued my education at Oklahoma State University where I received my graduate degree in 2005.

I have always had the desire and drive to help others. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I offer support, encouragement and safety to explore the process of change in a private environment. I fully believe in counseling and in its ability to help people. I value people as individuals, with their own life stories and experiences- therefore I fully accept people from all backgrounds and walks of life. Each person is the expert on their therapeutic strategies and techniques to help each person achieve their individual goals.

I have worked extensively with adults, both individually and in couples’ sessions. In addition, I work with adolescents individually and with their families. My clinical focus has been on: improving interpersonal relationships, treating trauma survivors (PTSD), anxiety and depression, along with teens and adults who are experiencing situational struggles (mental health, divorce, etc.)

I am a trained EMDR therapist. Eye Movement, Desensitization and Reprocessing uses specific techniques and interventions to assess and treat PTSD. For more information about EMDR visit: www.emdr.com.

Besides providing Counseling services, I am invested in educating those who are beginning their journey as Licensed Professional Counselors. Currently, I am an Oklahoma approved LPC supervisor.
