Laura has experience in both individual and family counseling in a variety of settings, including Christian non-profit organizations, community mental health and the public school system. Laura has also facilitated court-ordered anger management classes and led a number of groups for teenagers.
Committed to Ministry
Laura has facilitated "Healing for Damaged Emotions" groups for women at her church, as well as providing intercessory prayer and overseeing the youth ministry program. Laura spent three years on staff with Young Life in Australia, where she engaged in outreach, discipleship, and leadership training and development. She has also provided counseling on the field to missionaries in West Africa and Southeast Asia.
Laura's years of speaking to teens have trained her to communicate Biblical truths in an engaging way, utilizing humor, personal stories, and tangible examples. She has facilitated seminars on depression for local churches. Laura has also spoken to church leaders about loving listening, avoiding relationships pitfall, burnout and self-care. In addition to speaking engagements, Laura was involved in preaching monthly at her former church for a number of years.
Committed to Relationship
Laura values time spent with her family and is also committed to authentic Christian community through accountability relationships, prayer partnerships, and discipleship. Laura believes that as "iron sharpens iron," it is through relationship that we become all that God has created us to be. A defining characteristic of her counseling is not just focusing on people's relationships with one another, but also on strengthening the individual's relationship with God.
He who walks with the wise grows
wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm.

A friend loves at all times, and
a brother is born for adversity.
Proverbs 17:17
The purposes of a man's heart are
deep waters, but a man of understanding draws them out.
Proverbs 20:5
A man finds joy in giving an apt
reply - and how good is a timely word!
Proverbs 15:23
