You’ve been holding it all together- work, family, relationships- yet inside you feel wired, exhausted, and unsure how much longer you can keep the smile in place. If that sounds familiar, you’ve already taken the first brave step by looking for a therapist. Hi, I’m Laurel, and I help women across Washington State trade relentless self-critique for steadier calm and self-compassion.

Are you confused, frustrated and angry? Have you invested a lot into your relationship but your partner always makes you feel "not good enough"? Are you treated like a second class citizen in your own house? Slowly even you believe that something is wrong with you? The more unfair it gets, the more you try to prove how good you are. Now you have reached the point to where you do even more for your significant other. What's wrong with that picture? Doesn't it feel like a trap? It might be and it is called Emotional Manipulation. On the surface it might sound loving and caring, but in reality it is designed to induce guilt, shame or anxiety. Without recognition, anyone would do whatever it takes to avoid those painful, negative feelings. The manipulator only needs to give "hints" or "directions" what you are expected to do and you instinctively jump to do it. It?s logical. Gradually, the manipulator controls more and more parts of your life. The emotional toll is devastating: the relationship is highly pressurized. Your Self-Esteem is deep down from the constant negative judgments. You are full of doubts about yourself and about the motives of your partner. You feel no matter what you do, you cannot change the situation. I see why you feel that way: someone else controls your emotions and behavior. Additionally, you are right when you think you cannot change the manipulator. Although there is a slim chance for change: you can change your responses to the manipulative attempts. By so doing, it changes the whole pattern. There is help and there is hope! I can help you to unveil the manipulative process, to respond differently and to override manipulation. You can restore your confidence and improve your Self-Esteem. You can create a fairer, more respectful, more balanced relationship.

Together, we’ll work at your pace to climb toward your personal summit—because your story matters, and your wellness journey deserves support.
I employ a bio-behavioral approach to assist in processing and integration of emotional responses and resultant problematic behaviors or relational difficulty. I espouse a biopsychosocial model that addresses both emotional and physiologic responses and their impact on individual and interpersonal functioning. I strongly believe that my clients come to me already possessing the answers to their presenting problems, and I see myself as a guide walking side by side on their path, finding ground, moving forward on the path and bringing aspirations into fruition.

I love helping people thrive in life. A big part of what gets in the way is trauma, current as well as past trauma, including childhood trauma. My goal is to help you build a new internal voice that tells you how amazingly awesome you are. I want to help you feel loved, seen and wanted, here and now. I use a variety of techniques based on who shows up in my practice. I work intuitively with years of experience and education to back that up. I believe each person shows up knowing deep inside them what they need and my job is to help them access that. Give me a call and let's see if we are a good fit.

Through these different experiences, I am now focusing my counseling practice working with adults primarily with trauma and anxiety. EXPECT GREAT THINGS Time to dream. Time to dream of a time when painful memories do not trigger painful emotions and physical responses.
