Laura’s Approach
Laura works especially well with high-achieving professionals who are accustomed to being capable, dependable, and the person others turn to, even when they are running on empty themselves.
Her approach is collaborative, practical, and insight-oriented, helping clients better understand the patterns that keep them overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected and make meaningful changes in how they approach their work, relationships, and lives.
ABOUT Laura
With nearly 20 years of experience in the mental health field, Laura brings a depth of clinical, educational, and business experience to her work as a therapist. She is the co-founder of Five Forks Counseling Group, a South Carolina-approved LMFT Supervisor, an adjunct instructor in Marriage and Family Therapy at Converse University and Auburn University, and a business consultant to therapists and private practice owners.
Laura has presented regional and international workshops on topics including entrepreneurial burnout, marketing, and business development in the mental health field.

In therapy, Laura works collaboratively with clients to understand the patterns, expectations, and experiences shaping how they approach their lives and relationships.
