Life can feel overwhelming when your nervous system is highly sensitive. You may feel misunderstood, emotionally flooded, or “too much” for those around you. You’re not broken — your nervous system is simply overwhelmed. Relief is possible.

I’m Laura, and I help sensitive, anxious, and overwhelmed individuals calm their nervous system, understand their patterns, and feel safer in their emotions, relationships, and life. Therapy with me is a chance to feel seen, heard, and supported — without judgment.

My Story

I know what it’s like to live with intense emotions and anxiety. I’m a highly sensitive person, and for years, my feelings ran my life. I had no idea how to cope with anxiety that sometimes felt overwhelming, or how past experiences shaped my reactions in the present.

I tried retreats, seminars, and self-help books, but the patterns kept returning. Then I found therapy that included the body — a nervous system-informed approach. Techniques like EMDR, body-based work, and mindfulness helped me calm my system, process past trauma, and regain balance.

Now, I guide others through the same process. I help clients understand how their nervous system works, develop tools to navigate stress, and create space to feel safe and seen.

My Approach

I take a holistic, individualized approach that honors your mind, body, and spirit. I blend evidence-based therapy with somatic and nervous system-informed approaches to help you understand not only what you’re experiencing, but what may be happening beneath the surface.

I meet each client where they are, offering safety, validation, curiosity, and practical tools for meaningful, lasting change.

Work With Me

My clients often come to therapy feeling exhausted, anxious, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves. They may understand their patterns intellectually but still find themselves repeating them.

Together, we can explore what’s underneath those patterns and work toward:

• Calming your nervous system and feeling less overwhelmed

• Reconnecting with your emotions in a safe way

• Developing healthier relationships and boundaries

• Healing the impact of trauma and early emotional wounds

• Understanding yourself with greater compassion

Explore your options:

1. Therapy for High Sensitivity

2. Anxiety & Chronic Overwhelm

3. Emotional Shutdown & Numbness

4. Relationships & Boundaries

5. Trauma & Early Emotional Wounds

You don’t need to fit into one category. Therapy can meet you wherever you are in your journey.

My Training & Experience

For the nitty gritty details about my formal education - I hold a Master of Social Work from NYU and a Bachelor’s in Human Development and Family Studies from Penn State.

Over 20+ years, I’ve worked with children, teens, adults, couples, and seniors, supporting people through mental health challenges, trauma, grief, adoption, and relationship difficulties. I continue to work with birth mothers placing their babies for adoption.

I believe the best therapists never stop growing. Along with continuing my professional education, I remain committed to my own personal growth and healing. It helps me bring both knowledge and genuine understanding into the therapy room.

I combine conventional and alternative approaches, including:

• EMDR (Attachment-Focused)

• Poly Vagal Theory

• Mindfulness (MBSR)

• Parts Work

• EFT / Tapping & Body-Awareness

• Support for anxiety, stress, trauma, grief, and HSP-related challenges
