Welcome

Are you feeling weighed down by the pain of losing a loved one? Or perhaps you feel stuck and confused by an event that has changed the plans you had for your own life. Grief, in its many forms, can feel overwhelming. Along with sadness, you may also experience anger or a lack of motivation. And, when it feels like the world expects you to carry on, grief can feel like a dark and lonely place. With 28 years of experience in healthcare, I can help you gently explore your thoughts, feelings, and physical symptoms of grief. There is no right way to grieve, and together we will find your unique path forward.

I offer you a safe space where you can feel comfortable sharing how grief is impacting you. We’ll work together to find the strategies that help you gain a greater sense of compassion for yourself and your experience with grief. From Narrative Therapy to expressive journaling, I am here to join you in finding your own inner strength and guidance.

Living with grief is not something you need to do alone. With support, you will begin to see that you can guide your journey toward healing and happiness. I invite you to reach out to see if we can work together on your path forward.

I offer online services.

I am Laura, a Marriage and Family Therapist and a Certified Grief Educator. I am a Bilingual/Bicultural therapist, with more than 9 years of experience in Mexico and LA. I am here to help you navigate loss and be with you during this complicated process.

My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe therapy is a collaborative endeavor, and its effectiveness lies in the strength of the therapeutic relationship. My goal is to help you better understand your challenges, the dynamics of your relationships, your history, and yourself in a safe and caring environment. My treatment style is rooted in an evidenced-based/strengths-based approach utilizing cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques. At the center of my practice is a collaborative relationship with clients and the desire to support their development by encouraging self-understanding, skills development, and self-compassion.

In addition to grief counseling, I provide support for a wide range of challenges—whether you’re seeking relief from emotional pain, navigating life changes, or striving for personal growth. Here are some of the areas I support:

• Emotional Well-Being: Managing stress, overwhelm, anxiety, depression, or feelings of guilt and shame.
• Life Transitions: Navigating changes such as career shifts, moving, retirement, or adjusting to parenthood.
• Relationships: Strengthening communication, rebuilding trust, resolving conflicts, co-parenting, or enhancing intimacy.
• Trauma and Loss: Healing from trauma, abuse, grief, or unresolved childhood experiences.
• Self-Growth and Identity: Exploring your sense of self, building confidence, and developing resilience.
• Work and Daily Life: Addressing workplace stress, burnout, financial challenges, or balancing caregiving roles.
• Mindfulness and Coping: Learning mindfulness techniques, relaxation skills, and strategies for managing fears, procrastination, or perfectionism.
• Health and Wellness: Supporting chronic illness or pain, postpartum mental health, or building self-care routines.
• Purpose and Meaning: Exploring life purpose, spiritual or existential questions, and finding clarity in times of uncertainty.

My approach is trauma-informed, mindfulness-based, compassionate, and resource-oriented, helping you slow down, cultivate self-compassion, and build a personalized toolkit of self-care and support strategies.
