I'm Laurie, Your Holistic Healing Guide

I have a long and varied work history that I draw from when offering guidance to my clients. It’s important to me that I pass on the wisdom I have learned from educating, caring for and counseling people of all ages and abilities. 

My past professional experiences include caring for preschoolers and school age students with varying physical and cognitive challenges, teaching elementary school and aging adults, providing school counseling to middle school and high school students, providing case management for teens with behavioral health issues, and providing aftercare coordination and therapy to clients in residential as well as outpatient treatment programs for codependency and substance abuse, all prior to my work in private practice in Kentucky and now Florida. 

These experiences have led me to view healing as a developmental growth process. Rather than focusing on a problem or considering my clients to be flawed in some ways, I view people as full of potential with the right to exercise their ultimate freedom – that of personal choice, ownership of their autonomy and individual interpretation of their authentic self.”

My Mission

At LifeLongYou, our mission is to support the healing and transformation of adult survivors of early life trauma through holistic, trauma-informed counseling and coaching. 

My Process

We help clients recover, reconnect, and rise—honoring the mind, body, and spirit—so they can reclaim their authentic selves and create lives of purpose, connection, and freedom. 

Let's work together
