Hello!

I’m Laura, a licensed therapist in Maryland, and the founder of Meadowlark Therapy. I created this practice to support women and couples through the complex and transformative stage of of pregnancy and parenting. My work is affirming and inclusive of all identities, and I welcome clients from LGBTQIA+ communities, including trans and nonbinary parents. I offer my clients a compassionate and supportive therapeutic space where we work together to heal the hurt and broken parts that becoming a parent can stir up and sometimes create.

I specialize in perinatal mental health because I know how deeply overwhelming this time can be. You might feel anxious, depressed, disconnected from your self, or painfully alone. This season of life is raw, intense, and often under-supported. Receiving emotional support during this transformative time is essential. Whether you’re pregnant, newly postpartum, or have young children, it’s never too early, or too late, to receive the support you deserve.

My approach blends empathy with practical tools to help you navigate the challenges you’re facing. Drawing from my background in Adlerian therapy, mindfulness, and somatic interventions, I help clients reconnect with themselves and their inner resilience. I’ll help you slow down, drop underneath your story, and reconnect with the bodily sensations that naturally rise and fall when we experience emotion.

My work with clients starts with addressing the painful symptoms that brought them to therapy. Using a blend of therapeutic modalities, my clients often notice a reduction in these symptoms with consistent work. But the true transformation happens once the symptoms subside. Together, we’ll explore past traumas, relationship challenges, unhelpful patterns, or difficulties with primary attachment figures. With this deeper focus, I help my clients move beyond just coping, and shift into a fuller, more connected way of living.

If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of where to start, I want you to know you don’t have to carry it all on your own. Together, we can gently untangle what feels heavy and help you feel more grounded, whole, and connected to yourself again.
