I've specialized in treating children, adolescents, and adults with anxiety and related disorders including Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Body Focused Repetitive Behaviors (Trichotillomania and Skin Picking Disorder), Social Anxiety, Panic Disorder, Agoraphobia, Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Separation Anxiety, and Selective Mutism for the past 17 years. As the owner of The Center for Mindfulness & CBT, I've hired and trained other anxiety/OCD/BFRB experts, and continue to provide supervision and consultation, so I work to connect those I can't see to others in the practice.
Our team of psychologists, counselors, social workers, and trainees all provide specialized evidence-based treatment for those with anxiety, OCD, and BFRBs, along with those struggling with depression, the effects of trauma, and other life stressors.
We also teach mindfulness and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), and run groups for children, teens, and adults. With our team of over 20 providers, we work collaborative to provide a variety of services to meet all of the mental health and wellness needs of all of those who seek services.

Laura is a gem of a human. She is the definition of integrity; she is intentional, real, and kind. Besides her deep expertise in OCD & bfrbs, she is a clear and direct communicator. I wish I weren't her colleague so she could be MY therapist!
