Bio
Hey there. I'm a trained active listener and I'm happy to help. I'm a 40something woman who has struggled (successfully) with weight and marital issues. I'm a bisexual in a long-term open marriage so can deal with queer issues/polyamory. I've also recently gone through two traumatic losses: my nephew to suicide and my sister (his mother) to an overdose and am working with a therapist. I'm interested in a becoming a therapist myself and in psychoanalysis in general.
I'm a a writer, paralegal, art dealer, voracious reader, political junkie, and live on an 80% raw vegan diet.
Feedback & Reviews
Wonderful listener with amazing compassion. She validates your feelings and makes you feel heard. She empowers you to develop your own voice.
Great Listener. Really helped me out
Always makes me feel better. Like chatting with an old friend.

She's the best !
Laura really tried to help me. She went out of her way to link me to a grief support website, and also tried to find out if the meet ups were in my area. She listened and asked questions. I appreciate her support.
She had knowledge of what I was talking about. I really like this site.
She is non-judgmental, empathetic, and a very good listening ear. Thank you!
Great first experience here. Thanks.
Amazing experience, and a really empathetic listener. She knows how to help you find the words for what you're feeling, and knows how to then help you get to the truth you're looking for.
A patient and caring listener. The conversation we had was truly helpful.
She is kind and calm and gentle. I could not have had a better listener.
