I work with individual adult clients seeking positive change in their lives. I was trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and I believe when we change, life changes.

I appreciate that she truly listens to all that I have to say before responding. I also find it helpful that she can work with me in visual exercises, not just bullet-point formulas on how to get 'through' confusing emotional issues. I enjoy working with Lara very much.
