Testimonials

  • “Our school district has worked with Laurie in several different capacities over the years, small group consultation, small and large group professional development and one-on-one consultation regarding students. I have always been appreciative of her professionalism but more importantly her approachability and her willingness to meet us where we are, tailoring her training to what we were looking for rather than offering only what she had pre-packaged. I would highly recommend her for furthering understanding and implementing trauma informed practices in the classroom and school counseling practice."
