I have worked with Laura on a professional level for about a year or two and she has been an excellent resource and referral source for several clients. I will happily continue to refer her services for anyone looking to do trauma work.

Laura was my therapist for what felt like too long but maybe only a couple months, no idea. I do not recall her being helpful or giving me useful advice to apply to every day life. She just kinda left me with the words "god will help you ." If you have child, take my word and do not send them to her. She's a real nice lady just not a good fit at all for helping people, especially youth, with issues when it comes to providing navigating tools.

I have known Laura personally and professionally for over 10 years now. She is a caring, compassionate, hard working clinician who always has her clients best interests in mind. She keeps up to date with the most relevant information pertinent to her clients (e.g. her parenting seminar is amazing) and does an excellent job instilling her knowledge in various areas to her clients. She is responsible, non judgmental, and a genuine person. I cannot recommend her highly enough!
