I have known Laurie for many years and highly recommend her. She has a special way with kids and teens, using down-to-earth humor to help them feel heard and share what's on their minds. With adults, her warmth helps people feel safe, allowing them to address their deepest concerns and really feel better.

Laurie is a skilled and compassionate therapist. She is engaging and warm and has a great sense of humor that she uses to help you feel comfortable. She is non-judgmental yet she always gives honest feedback. I highly recommend Laurie to anyone looking for a great therapist.

Report
Another therapist confirmed that this woman should be reported to the licensing board for what she said to me. She is a lovely woman but needs more training to give therapy for mental health. She is a pleasant, seemingly caring person but took a dark turn one session. I never felt I got much out of the sessions prior.
