Hello!
Thank you for taking the time to review my profile. I also applaud you on taking your first step of this journey. Remember, "life is a journey, not a destination". Just a little bit about me. I graduated from in 2015 from Viterbo University with a Masters of Science in Mental Health Counseling and I am currently completing my Ph.D. in Advanced Studies of Human Behavior at Capella University. I have a passion for working with others to assist them in living their "best life". I have been blessed with having a wide range of experience including working with parents with custody and placement issues, addictions, Court systems and jail population, Alaskan Natives, children, adults, and military members and their families. I am experienced in individual, group, couples, and family therapies as well as psycho-educational groups.
I use an integrated approach to therapy which has a foundation in client-centered therapy. This means that we will work together to develop a tailor-made plan just for you. I believe in working alongside each other as a team. This is your time and your plan. I believe that most people will say I have a gentle demeanor and a caring personality. I want all my clients to have a positive experience in therapy and feel comfortable sharing their cares, concerns, and dreams.
In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family and dogs hanging out at the house, the camper, or riding the ATV/UTV trails.
I look forward to working together for a better tomorrow.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

AMAZING no other words. Just an AMAZING therapist !

Laura is very responsive.
I've been working with Laura for over a year now, I have grown so much and have been able to really start healing. I feel completely safe and capable of opening up about any topic.
Laura really listens to my concerns and provides helpful and insightful ways to navigate them.
Laura is great! We are able to explore a lot of things in my life, she gives quality feed back on the thoughts I am having. She provides good homework as well.
Laura has found a way to make teletherapy as comfortable as seeing a counselor in person. She handles technical issues with grace, and creates a warm, safe environment. She is person focused and makes you feel heard as an individual, rather than scrambling through notes to remember which virtual client you are. Laura can shift seamlessly from listening to offering advice or coping techniques. Laura draws on her life experiences to relate to clients and make you feel like a human rather than a problem to be solved. She is able to shift from serious conversations to light-hearted ones, helping keep the "heaviness" that often comes with processing trauma at a manageable level. Overall, Laura is easy to work with, is flexible with scheduling and makes me feel like my needs are addressed.
She's very professional, all the while being empathetic and compassionate. Highly recommend Laura, I was making progress within a few exchanges.
I think Laura is really awesome. She's caring, thoughtful, knows her stuff, and enjoyable to talk to, especially when it comes to this. To me, she's been going above and beyond with helping me, and I believe talking to her is helping immensely.
Laura supports me in processing my thoughts. I feel relaxed to talk through things with Laura and when she offers insight it has felt constructive and key to answering my questions, to better understand my problems. I'm so grateful for her expertise that included the life of military children. I'm so grateful I found Better Help. Thank you both.
