Welcome! I’m Laura and I’ve spent my 15+ year career privileged to journey alongside individuals as they navigate life’s ups, downs and in-betweens. I have worked with some of the most resilient people: Holocaust survivors, single-moms working two jobs, elders on the verge of houselessness, individuals grappling with terminal illness. They have been my best teachers! They taught me how to make the most in the face of the worst.

Chaim Potok writes about the immeasurable quality of meaning making. Confronting life - grief and loss, systems that fail us as individuals and collectives, unpredictable setbacks - is part of our work as humans. How we make meaning and find purpose in the face of life’s detours is the work of my heart. Each of my offerings - counseling, ritual, group facilitation and end-of-life doula services - is a means to this end.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in both Kansas and Missouri and an ordained Minister through The Universal Brotherhood Movement. I hope to have the opportunity to work with you through life’s sacred and everyday experiences.
