Approach

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) - I use DBT frequently to help clients strengthen emotional regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and interpersonal coping skills
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) - identifies and shifts the thought patterns that keep you stuck
Motivational Interviewing (MI) - taps into your own deepest reasons for change, without shame or pressure
Adlerian Therapy - explores belonging, purpose, and the social context of your struggles
Person-Centered Therapy - warmth, unconditional positive regard, and meeting you exactly where you are
Strength-Based & Wellness-Focused Approaches - building on what already works inside you
Expressive Arts Therapy - a background I draw on to offer additional creative ways to explore emotions, experiences, and patterns when it's clinically appropriate

About Laura

Thoughtful, professional care tailored to your needs.

WHO I HELP

Have you been trying to outrun a habit that started as comfort, a grief you haven't faced, or a diagnosis that's felt like a label instead of a starting point? Recovery and healing aren't linear, and you don't need to have it figured out before you call. I'm Laura, a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LADC) and LPCC-Candidate, and I've spent over a decade sitting with people at every stage of that journey. I serve clients throughout Minnesota via telehealth, and I specialize in addiction, dual diagnosis (co-occurring mental health and substance use), trauma, and LGBTQIA+ affirming care. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in real clinical expertise.

ADDICTION & SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS

Helping people recover from alcohol, drug, and gambling addiction is work I'm deeply passionate about. I use Motivational Interviewing to help you tap into your own internal drive for change - no shame, no ultimatums, no judgment. Just evidence-based, compassionate support grounded in clinical expertise and a decade of real-world experience in both residential and outpatient settings.

DUAL DIAGNOSIS: MENTAL HEALTH & SUBSTANCE USE

Many of my clients carry both a mental health diagnosis and a substance use concern - and I believe both deserve to be treated together, not in isolation. Whether it's anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder (BPD), or trauma layered alongside addiction, I'm trained and experienced to hold the full picture of who you are and what you need.

LGBTQIA+ AFFIRMING CARE

My practice is a safe, affirming space for LGBTQIA+ individuals navigating identity, relationships, mental health, and substance use challenges. I bring a culturally informed, affirming lens to every session.

TRAUMA, GRIEF & EMOTIONAL WELLNESS

Whether you're processing grief and loss, working through past trauma, struggling with an eating disorder, or rebuilding your sense of self-worth, I create a safe and structured space to do that work. I draw from CBT, Adlerian therapy, and strength-based strategies to help you develop healthy habits, a clearer sense of identity, and a life that feels like yours again.
