Hello! I’m Laura.

With over ten years in the field, I founded Spring Creek EMDR to offer trauma therapy that is both effective and deeply human. I specialize in EMDR and IFS therapy for adults navigating relational trauma, childhood trauma, attachment wounds, anxiety, dissociation, and the protective patterns that can keep you feeling stuck.

The people who find their way to my practice are insightful, capable, and tired of carrying so much internally. They have read, reflected, worked hard, and tried to understand themselves. What they are looking for is therapy that helps change happen at a deeper level.

My approach blends strong clinical training with warmth, structure, humor, and respect for your nervous system. We will work with what is happening beneath the symptoms while keeping therapy connected to your actual life.

Outside of work, I’m an avid gardener, nature and ecology enthusiast, brand-new worm farmer, and certified yoga teacher. My favorite place is outside, and my dogs are absolutely family members.

Whether you are seeking to heal, grow, or reconnect with yourself, I’m glad you are here.
