A Strong Mind Begins with One Step
Welcome! I’m Lara, a licensed associate professional counselor specializing in helping adolescents and adults navigate the complexities of everyday life and pressure to keep it all together.
I provide compassionate therapy using evidence-based approaches like CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) to treat
• Anxiety and stress
• Depression and mood challenges
• Identity and self-esteem
• Life transitions (school, career, relationships)
• Family and interpersonal dynamics
• Nonsuicidal self-injury
My goal is to empower clients by helping them manage emotions, challenge negative thought patterns, and build resilience for lasting change. I maintain a small caseload to offer individualized attention and ensure sessions are tailored to each client’s needs.

Out-of-Network Benefits
I do not work with insurances, however, you may be able to use your insurance for services. Some insurances provides out-of-network benefits. This means you submit a request to your insurance provider for all or partial reimbursement. In this case, you will pay the session fee at the time of service, and I will provide you with a receipt that you submit to your provider. Please check with your insurance provider first to determine of out-of-network benefits are available to you.
