Lara’s schedule is currently full and she is not taking on new clients.

Hey there, and welcome to this next part of your journey. Let’s take a moment to recognize that you are a total badass for just being here. For surviving whatever it is that has brought you to this place. It takes awesome courage to explore working with a therapist, whether it’s your first or fifth time searching for the right connection. Here’s what I will always strive to provide for you: a wholly safe and judgment-free space, where we hold a deep respect for what you’ve been through, and honor the resources you contain within yourself to have survived to this point.

Together, we will learn how to nurture calm within your body and mind, how to validate and access your feelings with care, and how to build a sense of safety and security within yourself, with others, and in the world. I will support you in telling your story, if you decide to, and will honor your pace and boundaries on your path to greater well-being.

My practice is inclusive, affirming, and nonjudgmental. I specialize in trauma-focused treatments including EMDR, IFS, DBT, and TF-CBT for LGBTQIA individuals, BIPOC, sex workers, those who have been impacted by addiction and/or incarceration, and survivors of childhood sexual abuse, domestic violence, rape, sexual assault, and traumatic grief.
