Hello and welcome! My name is Lainey and I’m glad you’ve taken this important step in your journey.


I have worked in a variety of settings with a wide variety of different people. Much of my experience includes trauma work stemming from events such as domestic violence, sexual assault, and chaotic childhood experiences. My passion is to help my clients regain a sense of self, a sense of empowerment, and discover new ways to experience their lives. My goal is to help you find a space in which you are heard, seen, and safe.


My style is eclectic with a focus on person-centered, humanistic techniques. I pride myself on my ability to meet people where they are and sit with them there until they are ready to move forward.  I am not only able to hear how you feel inside, but also give some insight on the biological processes which contribute to these feelings. Let’s talk! I look forward to meeting you.

Welcome! I believe that everyone deserves support, encouragement, healing, and peace. My approach to therapy is rooted in empathy, validation, and a deep understanding of the ways in which trauma can impact every aspect of a person’s life. By creating an affirming and non-judge mental space, I work collaboratively with my clients to explore and process through their experiences, identify their strengths, and develop strategies for coping and healing.

My therapeutic approach is person-centered and strengths-based. I utilize empowerment and trauma-informed practices while paying special attention to the ways each client’s identities impact their experiences.

Since each of us is unique in our background and experience, I am ready to meet you where you are, and walk alongside you in moving toward a healthy and peaceful life.
