ABOUT LAURIE
Laurie is a psychotherapist serving individuals and couples in the greater Indianapolis area.
I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who has spent my career working with diverse individuals, couples, and families in a wide variety of settings, including counseling centers, hospitals, and churches. I value and honor people in their uniqueness and welcome clients of all backgrounds; I appreciate opportunities to work with people across differences of race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, and more..
My training includes:
-Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy (Christian Theological Seminary)
-Gottman Method Couples Therapy Training (Levels I and II)
-Masters of Divinity (Pacific School of Religion)
I chose the field of Marriage and Family Therapy because it emphasizes our inherent innerconnectedness. I have a particular passion for postmodern methods of counseling, which embody respect for clients' innate resiliency, resourcefulness, and sense of meaning.
Prior to my training in counseling, I accompanied people in times of celebration as well as loss in my role as a congregational pastor. I carry with me an ability to integrate clients' beliefs about spirituality in assessing their current problems and possibilities.
In addition to counseling, my professional pursuits include serving on the Indiana Association of Marriage and Family Therapy Board of Directors. Additionally, I have facilitated retreats, workshops, and groups on topics such as emotion coaching for parents, couples relationship enrichment, and spiritual autobiographies.
