Welcome
There is a kind of quiet that only comes when you finally feel understood. Still Waters was built to be that quiet — a safe, unhurried space to breathe, to be honest, and to begin again.
Whether you're carrying anxiety, grieving a loss, rebuilding a relationship, or simply longing for direction, you don't have to sort it out alone. New clients and referrals are welcome now.
My Approach
Faith, values, and your own strengths — at the center of your care.
It is my mission to provide clients with a safe, supportive, and confidential environment that promotes emotional, psychological and relational health.
It is my role to assist and guide clients into developing increased confidence in themselves and their abilities. I use a client-centered approach that allows for personalized individual exploration of one's strengths, faith and values to promote healthy living. I offer a faith-based approach to your individualized treatment.
Over 16 years of experience helping adults, teens and couples reach goals in their mental-health journey they once thought impossible.

I've been seeing Laura for a couple years now, and she's been nothing but helpful in my life — allowing me to really figure out why I think the way I think and redirecting it to a positive, more healthy way. She is faith-based, so we always bring it back to God.
Laura has been seeing my daughter and helping her cope with divorce. She has come such a long way.
Laura is truly a wonderful and caring therapist — kind, knowledgeable and professional. She makes you feel safe and is very easy to talk to.
