Whether you are dealing with a specific problem or general anxiety, I can help. I have extensive treatment experience with anxiety disorders and I can make it easier for you to address the habitual anxiety that might be interfering with your daily activities. The structure of our modern world includes so many new challenges that can really become overwhelming.
I have a pretty unique background. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, but I started out my career as a hypnotherapist in Austin in 2001 shortly after graduating from the University of Texas. I realized through my work with hypnotherapy that I wanted to help people at a deeper level and get psychotherapy training, so I went back to school and got my Masters Degree in Professional Counseling at Texas State University in 2010.

Laura is a fantastic professional, engaging and accessible. I came to very much look forward to our sessions and looking back a year later I am struck by how much my life has changed. When I first reached out to Laura my drinking was getting out of control. I was terrified and desperate, very much feeling like I was at the end of my rope. She gave me hope and the belief that I could change while showing me the path.
My results far exceeded any hope I had going in and I am extremely grateful.

Laura was fantastic to work with! I have struggled to quit smoking for over ten years and just couldn't figure out why I kept coming back to it even with nicotine replacement. Laura got down to every single psychological trigger for me and taught me coping skills to go through each craving without running to get cigarettes. Her hypnosis portion is recorded and have been a useful tool to listen to ensure I'm tobacco free...plus the recordings are very soothing as I am a naturally anxious person. I am now one month smoke free and have no desire to smoke again. For the first time I

Laura's voice is so calming and her presence is very grounded. I had a great experience working with her and I have sent several people to see her as well who had very positive experiences. She is direct and openly shares her ideas with you so you feel like she is collaborating with you. If you need her to be tough she can do that as well. She was very professional.

Laura is a fantastic therapist and a genuinely pleasant person to talk to. Don't be afraid of the term hypnotherapy, as it is a tool used to reinforce the positive thinking that Laura helps you develop from the sessions speaking with her. I had a very specific issue that I wanted to address and Laura helped me dig much deeper into myself to figure out what the root causes were and how to make the right changes to create the outcome I was looking for. And it totally worked. The hypnotherapy part is relaxing and really just helps embed positive thoughts into your subconscious. She sends you home

I first visited Laura in September 2015. I had been a smoker for 20+ years. My brain said it was time to quit smoking but my body was not on board. I was going to try it out. I really thought I would leave the appointment and have a cigarette in the parking garage! Well needless to say, I did not have a cigarette. I took all of my smoking paraphernalia (e-cig). I even tossed out the little leather pouch that I kept my extra batteries and juice in. Laura asked me on my first visit how long I would need to be smoke free for this to be considered successful. I said a year. I had quit in previous years

I just passed my two-year smoke-free anniversary, and I am someone who in the past could barely go two hours without a cigarette during the forty (40!) years that I smoked.
I have no idea how or why this worked, but it did, and you can be sure that I tried everything over the years, including nicotine gum, nicotine patches and attempts with two other hypnotists. And yet, with Laura I put down my last cigarette right before my first appointment and have not smoked since.
So if you are motivated and ready to quit this is the place.

I've been going to Laura for over a month now and I have to say I love it! In the beginning I was a bit skeptical about it, but she has helped me so much. She helped me to quit smoking and now we are working on other things that are going to improve my life so much. She's very easy to open up to and makes you feel very comfortable. I would recommend her to anyone.
