Does this sound familiar?
Deep down, you know you have a lot to offer. You feel like you’re meant for more — not in an ego way, but in a something’s missing way. You tend to think deeply about things, including life. You have been ambitious and successful in many ways. On paper, you get an A+. And feel damn good about that! A’s only, right? You’ve built a life that shows you can handle things, hold things together, and keep going even when it’s hard.
And still…
-
You’re capable and accomplished, yet anxiety or overwhelm can spike quickly and unexpectedly.
A part of you feels tense even when things are “fine,” and then another part of you criticizes you for it.
Your body feels bad, but you can’t name why and you don’t know what else to call it but bad.
You spiral into shame about doing the “wrong” thing, even when you’re trying so hard to be intentional.
You struggle to rest, receive, or enjoy yourself without guilt.
You feel like your needs don’t quite matter, even when you do so much for others.
You feel locked in a constant battle with perfectionism.
A part of you is exhausted by all of it.
-
You worry about how you’re perceived and whether people truly care about you.
A part of you goes into overdrive if someone is upset.
A part of you replays interactions, looking for what you did wrong.
You understand boundaries, but struggle to set or hold them without intense guilt or worry.
You give a lot in relationships while feeling unseen or unimportant.
You feel more irritation or resentment than ease or connection.
-
You feel burned out and sense that your life can’t keep going this way.
You’re at a crossroads, feeling called toward change but unsure how to move forward.
You feel disconnected from meaning or purpose, like you’re just going through the motions.
You wonder whether something needs to shift at a deeper level for life to feel worth living. And that’s the part of you that led you here — the part of you that knows something deeper is possible.
This isn’t a failure of effort. It’s a sign that something else is needed. Something I can help you access.
Hi, I’m Laura.
I believe that it’s not about feeling better. (Though this tends to happen). It’s about getting better at feeling. Sometimes it’s about taking the slow way home.
Maybe a part of you groaned at that. I get it. I used to want to master or conquer my feelings too, and it didn’t work for me either. I also got caught up in our culture’s urgency, the push for quick fixes and fast results. You guessed it. That didn’t work either.
Insight alone isn’t enough. You can read self-help books and watch YouTube videos on emotionally immature parents and attachment styles. You can watch TikTok videos from therapists until the cows come home. Insight is helpful and awareness is empowering, but it’s actually the first step on the journey. When you think it’s the end-all be-all, well, then you might just feel stuck in your thoughts. Maybe even shaming yourself because you “know better now.”
My work helps high-functioning, anxious people move beyond understanding their emotions intellectually and actually relate to them differently. Therapy with me is less about control, and much more about relationship, awareness, and choice. With compassion woven through it all.
Therapy with me will not be a good fit if…
You’re primarily looking for short-term coping tools or fast symptom relief
You want someone to tell you exactly what to do without exploring your inner world
You’re not interested in slowing down or reflecting more deeply
You’re hoping therapy will change other people
You’re not in a place to prioritize this work and give it consistent space in your life
You’re looking for highly structured, step-by-step sessions with clear agendas, rather than a more open-ended, exploratory process
Therapy with me might be a good fit if…
You are curious about your inner world and you are willing to look inward and take responsibility for your growth
You’re open to slowing down and getting curious about what’s happening beneath the surface even if you don’t know how yet
You sense you’re meant for more, even if you don’t know what that means yet
You’re tired of trying to outwork or outthink your emotions
You’re willing to engage in therapy as a process, not just a quick solution
Specializing in…
-
For capable, accomplished people who feel tense, self-critical, and quietly overwhelmed beneath the surface.
-
For adults unpacking guilt, over-responsibility, and the long shadow of emotionally unavailable parenting.
-
If you’ve ever felt like different parts of you are pulling in different directions, you’re not imagining it. IFS helps you understand and connect with those parts so you can stop fighting yourself and start relating to your experience differently.
-
EFT is a mind-body approach that uses the meridian system to help the body settle when emotions feel overwhelming or stuck. EFT blends beautifully with IFS. It helps create enough space and steadiness to relate to yourself with more curiosity and compassion.
We don’t fight your emotions here. We get curious about them. Here’s how:
01
Let’s connect by video for a vibe check. I will have some questions for you, like what is bringing you into therapy, what you hope to work on, etc. This is the space to explore together whether we are a good match.
02
Work with me
We start with weekly sessions to build trust and steadiness in our container. Over time, you begin to understand the parts of you that feel so anxious, and how hard they’ve been working to keep everything together.
03
Take the slow way home
You will learn what it means to come back home to yourself, to understand your true self more deeply. You will know what it means to stay with yourself instead of trying to override the discomfort or fear. You will build steadiness with your emotions instead of trying to conquer them.
Begin the slow way home. We can begin together.
