ABOUT ME
Hi, I'm Laurel (she/her).
I love being a therapist. I see my role as both a witness and a guide, helping bring awareness to the wisdom and wholeness that already exist within each person, their community, and their ancestral lineage.
I bring warmth, humor, curiosity, and patience to our work together. I believe transformation happens through honest, compassionate connection with ourselves, with others, and with the parts of us that long to be seen and understood.
I work best with people who are ready and willing to go deep and are open to exploring new ways of engaging with themselves and others. I value the therapeutic relationship and consider it one of the most important parts of the healing process. Together, we'll create a space where you can safely explore, grow, and reconnect with your authentic self.
I identify as a white, queer cis woman. I was born on the traditional homelands of the Ute, Cheyenne, and Arapaho in Colorado. I live and practice on the traditional homelands of the Squaxin, Nisqually, and Chehalis tribes, who have stewarded this land since time immemorial and continue to do so today. I acknowledge this land I am a settler on as a commitment to supporting tribal sovereignty and my own responsibility for caring for this land. I raise my hands and offer gratitude to the many indigenous people who have educated me and helped me understand my connection, place, and responsibility as a guest on this land.
Outside of work, I’m dancing, making playlists for friends, creating art, seeking joy and wonder, spending time outside with my dogs, listening to podcasts, and moving towards a world where everyone is free. I am grateful to the many people, animals, and plants who have guided me in my own healing.
