Certified Restorative Therapist Certified Crisis Counselor Chaplin
Meet Laura
I am a compassionate counselor with a strong background in providing safe, non-judgmental support and guidance to individuals facing a variety of challenges.
As a Certified Restorative Therapist, I focus on inner childhood work, trauma recovery, Complex PTSD and self-empowerment through the discovery of authentic and intrinsic self-worth. With trauma-based and cognitive-based therapy, I take a heart-centered approach to helping individuals reconnect with their inner child, heal deep-seated wounds and break free from patterns that no longer serve them.
Believing that true healing begins with self-awareness and self-compassion, I guide clients through the process of understanding their past while reclaiming their power in the present. Through therapeutic interventions, somatic practices and empowerment coaching, I help individuals cultivate emotional resilience, establish healthy boundaries and embrace their worthiness-independent of external validation.
With years of experience in restorative healing, I create a safe, nurturing space for those seeking to break cycles of dysfunction and step into their most authentic, empowered selves. Whether through one-on-one sessions, group work or community advocacy, my mission is to help others transform pain into purpose and build a life-rooted in self-trust, inner peace and emotional freedom.
Additionally, as a Certified Crisis Counselor Chaplin, I provide immediate support and stabilization to individuals and families experiencing a wide range of distress. I specialize in de-escalation and rapid assessment to ensure safety and connect individuals with appropriate resources. My goal in crisis intervention is to provide clients with coping strategies to navigate their challenges.
What is Restorative Therapy?
Restorative Therapy is commonly used to help individuals experiencing and/or dealing with anxiety, depression, relational challenges, work-related stress, burn-out or trauma. It focuses on healing and replenishing the emotional and psychological well-being of the individual while helping to regain balance. I help my clients find sustainable ways to restore their mental clarity and emotional stability with the ultimate goal of achieving emotional sobriety and emotional freedom.
My approach to restorative healing includes these 5 R’s:
Relationality
Respect
Responsibility
Repair
Reintegration
In my restorative therapy practice, I emphasize self-care, resilience-building and recovery through various therapeutic approaches, such as:
Mindfulness and Relaxation Techniques- Practices like meditation, breathing exercises, stretching and yoga to reduce stress.
Cognitive and Emotional Processing- Therapy sessions (e.g., cognitive-behavioral therapy, talk therapy) to address negative thought patterns.
Holistic Approaches- Incorporating lifestyle changes, nutrition, sleep hygiene and physical activity to improve mental health.
Expressive Therapies- Using art, music, or movement to process emotions and restore a sense of self.
Interpersonal Healing- Strengthening relationships and social support to promote emotional recovery.
