LIBERATION PSYCHOLOGY & SOCIAL JUSTICE

Laurel hopes to provide a space to discuss how systemic inequalities and injustices impact our lives and collaborates with you to navigate the intersections of your identity. Our work together centers on empowerment, resilience, and reclaiming your agency.

NEURODIVERSITY & DISABILITY JUSTICE

As someone diagnosed with ADHD and raised by neurodivergent parents, Laurel understands how profoundly our different neurological experiences can impact our lives. Laurel can help you better understand how your brain works and how to work with your individual neurobiology to improve overall wellness and functioning.

TRAUMA AND ITS MANY FORMS

Acute trauma, chronic, complex trauma, vicarious and secondary trauma - I welcome it all. Laurel typically uses narrative therapy, lifespan integration, inner child work, and somatic awareness in trauma treatment. My trauma-informed approach prioritizes safety, trust, and collaboration as we navigate the path to recovery and resilience.

BODY LIBERATION /HAES

 Your body deserves love and respect. I promote body liberation and the principles of Health at Every Size (HAES), emphasizing self-acceptance, self-care, and holistic well-being. Together, we'll explore how to build a positive relationship with your body and unpack internalized fatphobia.

PARENTING & CAREGIVING

As a parent to two young children, Laurel understands how difficult it can be to prioritize your own wellbeing while caring for others. Laurel specializes in antepartum/perinatal mood disorders for people of all genders, as well as birth trauma and parenting children with disabilities and medical complexities.
