Hi, I’m Laurel!

My goal is to help people understand relationships and mental health in a way that leaves them feeling more capable. I care about giving people information and tools to heal and grow. I’ve taught at the graduate level and I work as a therapist, and both shape how I present. I want people to leave ready to communicate in healthier ways and make a change. I also share what I’ve learned from my own life and my clinical work, so I can connect with and help as many people as possible.

Speaking

I give keynotes, workshops, and training sessions for companies, law firms, and conferences. Most of my talks apply the Enneagram at work, take on professional burnout, or build mental health awareness, so teams can work together and handle stress better.

Consulting

I also work with leaders and teams on burnout, LGBTQ issues, trauma, and holistic therapy. That can mean one-on-one sessions, executive team coaching, or consulting built around your organization. We focus on EQ, managing stress, and a healthier place to work.
