Welcome! If you have found this website, you are likely struggling with something overwhelming in your life. My first goal is to help you feel comfortable in our therapeutic relationship so that we can address the tough issues with which you are dealing. I hope to be able to help you better connect to yourself, your partner, or your family as I believe strong relationships are the foundation of healing. Laurisa provides attachment-trauma treatment informed by neuroscience and based on Dr. Daniel Hughes' model of Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy. Treatment is focused on repairing the relationship between the child and the parent(s). Empathy, Attunement (emotional connection and regulation), nurturing, gentle confrontation, and humor are used to help the child process trauma, build trust, a sense of safety, and increase bonding within the parent-child relationship.
