About Laurie

Not your average therapist, not your average therapy

I’m a licensed LISW-CP therapist, graduate of The University of Michigan, with nearly 30 years of experience (YIKES).  I have advanced, in depth training in CBT, ACT, DBT, Gottman Couples Therapy, and Positive Psychology—and I continue to learn something new and amazing from those I help,  every damn day.

I’m not a one-size-fits-all kind of therapist. I tailor each session to fit you—your pace, your goals, your mess. Whether you’re untangling anxiety, relationship struggles, or just trying to survive being a good therapist and human, I bring research-backed strategies, deep compassion, and a little well-placed swearing to help move you through your sh*t in a skilled, kind way.

No jargon. No psychobabble. Just solid, effective therapy.

Off the clock, you’ll find me sailing with my hubbster, sweating my butt off in hot yoga, hanging with friends and family, reading, gardening, loving on my sweet dog, planning my next travel adventure, and staying wildly curious—because that’s what keeps me sane, healthy and my work real, caring and human.

You bring the mess, I’ll bring the knowledge, compassion and tools

Life can get messy—stress, relationships, anxiety, burnout—it all piles up. That’s where I come in. With advanced training in CBT, ACT, and Gottman Therapy, I’ll help you sort through the chaos and find clarity. Whether you’re a therapist who needs space to process, a couple working through tough conversations, or someone navigating big life changes, you don’t have to figure it out alone. Together, we’ll create a plan that’s practical, science-backed, and tailored to you. Therapy with me is a judgment-free zone—just honest conversation, compassion, and strategies that actually work.

I’m grateful for Laurie’s support in helping me find balance with anxiety and depression. From our first call, she has been professional, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. Her strong communication skills and thoughtful approach have made each session productive and applicable to my daily life. Laurie is always friendly, reliable, and genuinely caring, which has made a stressful time much easier. Her dedication and personalized approach to cognitive behavioral therapy have been more effective than my past therapy experiences.

I don’t do ‘manifesting.’ I do measurable change, with side effects of hope.
