Client testimonials

Zach and Alisha L., adoptive parents

"We adopted our daughter through foster care, and it was completely uncharted water for us. Laurie was a true-life vest--she coached us to respond to challenging situations and behaviors. We kept a running list between sessions with questions for Laurie, knowing that she would help us find the right approach. Laurie is compassionate and nonjudgmental. Without her support, we would have felt overwhelmed. She has helped us to grow as parents in confidence and our abilities. We are eternally grateful. "
