i feel so out of control
What just happened? One minute you were in control, and the next you just lost it on your partner, your co-worker, your kid. You used to be the go-to guy and now people are a little scared of you.
It’s becoming clear that a lot of the things you should have dealt with, or thought you dealt with, were never actually processed and worked through. You’re escaping by using screen time, alcohol, or legal weed. Temporarily.
It’s time to get a leash on your emotions.
We’ll start with some practical tools to help wrangle those symptoms and then we’ll dive deeper to help you uncover why you’re struggling. Together we’ll help you heal so you can show up as the partner, parent and person you want to be.

In fact, clients tell me bringing abstract ideas into visual metaphors helps them see what they’ve been missing. Click on the button below if you’re curious to see what you’ve been missing.
Finding humor in the chaos is often the first step toward taking back control. For a professional who is currently juggling way too many spinning plates, here are some indicators:
You know you’re ready for therapy with Laura when…
- Your “Inner Monologue” has become a shouting match.
- You’ve been ignoring your own emotional dashboard for so long that you now have a profound, personal connection with that blinking red light on your car’s instrument panel.
- “Vacation” just means a different place to check email.
- You find yourself physically weeping or contemplating a career change because the office coffee machine is out of oat milk or your favorite pen ran out of ink.
- Your “Five-Year Plan” has been replaced by a “Next Five Minutes” survival strategy.
