  • "Gave my child the tools to help"

    “Miss Laura, I cannot put into words the change you have made in (my child’s) and my life. You have not only given her tools to help her go through her days but someone else who loves her and she can count on. Your heart is huge and you clearly are in the right profession. I am glad that there will be many other children who will benefit from you. You are truly a wonderful therapist and even a better person. Thank you”
