I have been on a healing journey for over a decade now. While my husband and I found long-term talk…read moretherapists, we struggled to find someone who could help us to grow as a couple. We met with a few therapists and nobody could quite figure out how to help us... Until we met Laura! A good friend of mine recommended her, and she offered us profound insights and teachings that helped us to grow individually and as a couple. Her approach is unique, drawing from a variety of practices including eastern medicine, somatic healing, and talk therapy which she put together in a way that I have since described as outlandish and surprisingly effective. After nearly two years of working with Laura, my husband and I are more connected than we ever expected to feel, we laugh together a lot more, we've done away with patterns that Laura quickly called us out on that were dysfunctional. From a bigger life perspective I've also let go and softened. Laura could tell where we could grow, sometimes in unconventional ways, and our lives are better for it. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking to heal or looking for new ways to grow.

From a couples therapy perspective, she has helped us navigate some of the most difficult situations I believe a marriage could encounter. Individually, she helped me learn how to navigate the world in a more self-loving way - all of this during the most challenging year of my life. Laura has a magical way of knowing what you need and meeting you where you are. She also has a wealth of knowledge across many different disciplines, leading to very rich and insightful sessions every time. I feel so lucky to have found her and urge you to have a conversation with her if you're looking for a therapist or life coach.

Other than recommendations of a few resources that I could have found online (which is where she got them), this was a very expensive waste of time.

Got my daughter out the very next day. Months later I received a bill for 12 DOSES of various medications they say they gave her during her 27 hours there. She said she remembers taking two doses of medicines so I can't decide what is worse the fact that they are indicating that they gave her 12 doses of medicine during those 27 hours or the fact that they're billing me for medicine that they didn't give her? There is something very wrong about this whole thing, and I would like to dive further into it.
