Self-awareness has never been your issue.
In fact, you’re incredibly aware. You can read others’ moods in the slightest change of their face. You can feel the emotional temperature of the room the minute you walk in. And you already know you’ll be up at 3 am analyzing that conversation over and over and over again.
You’re a deep feeler, highly sensitive in every sense of the word. Your body is always on edge; your mind is always busy, reviewing the facts, checking the options.
Even the smallest decision can be overwhelming: Should I text that person back? Which protein bar should I buy? Does my dog need arthritis medicine?
Hi, I'm Laura.
I spent years with traditional therapy, self-help books, and journaling the same things over and over. It wasn’t until I discovered a somatic — body-based — approach to my mental health that things really began to change.
As a Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern, I have over a decade of experience in working with the mind-body connection to change our experience from the inside out. I help individuals to reconnect to their embodied intuition — so they can start to trust what’s right for them, and choose a different way to experience life.
There’s nothing wrong with you.
Over-thinking and anxiety are common strategies that we may have developed as sensitive children to survive in environments that weren’t supportive.
As adults, we don’t need those strategies anymore — but because they’re buried so deep, it feels like there is no other way. In our work together, we’ll uncover the ways that these patterns are showing up-- and make space to find new choices, so that you can start to trust yourself and your body.
My practice is neuro-divergent affirming, fat-friendly, body-neutral, anti-oppressive, and welcomes all worldviews and spiritual traditions. You are welcome, just as you are.
I can’t wait to get started with you!
