You’re constantly overwhelmed.

Getting through the day takes everything you have.

You avoid your to-do list as it grows more daunting, and even simple tasks feel impossible.

Your nervous system is stuck on high alert.

Lying awake at night, you replay the day and your stomach churns.

You can’t remember the last time you felt calm or in control.

Getting anything done feels impossible.

Panicking about your responsibilities has created a perfect storm that drains you of energy and leaves you feeling hopeless.

So, you avoid your to-do list, ignoring it as it grows longer and more daunting with each passing day.

Something has to change.

Chronic anxiety isn’t resolved by insight, effort, or willpower. You may understand why you feel this way, but still find that your system doesn’t respond.

Past trauma, prolonged stress, neurodiversity, or conditions like IBS that keep the body on constant alert. Managing your symptoms has become exhausting and your standard coping strategies have stopped working.

There is another way.

I offer evidence-based psychotherapy that focuses on the patterns driving anxiety and chronic stress, with the goal of helping you grow in practical, meaningful ways.

Let’s Chat

Hi, I’m Laura.

I’m delighted you’ve found my website.  If you’re here, something likely isn’t working and you’re looking for a more focused way forward.

I work with adults who are capable and high-functioning, yet stuck in patterns of anxiety and stress that haven’t responded to insight alone.

This work goes beyond talking through what happened.

It focuses on identifying and interrupting the patterns that keep those reactions in place.

We’ll look honestly at what you’ve tried, clarify what you want to change, and determine a clear next step.

You don’t have to keep trying harder to get different results. We’ll focus on what actually needs to change, together.

“Dr. Summerhill has been a great support and resource for my personal health goals. During each appointment, our time has become a wonderful place to be reminded of care and rest, leading me toward reconnection and personal agency. Since working with Laura, I’ve been happy to note improved productivity – as well as sensing an expanding capacity to cope with stress and past traumas.”

“After a near catastrophic diagnosis of cerebral malaria, I had parts of both feet amputated which led to chronic pain and neuropathy. After an initial consult with Dr. Summerhill, I decided to pursue clinical hypnosis for pain management. It was extremely successful and gave me multiple steps and tools for self-regulation and for calming my nervous system. I can’t say enough positive things. I give Laura my highest recommendation.”

– Freddie

“I’ve enjoyed every session with Dr. Summerhill. She is friendly, easy to talk to, and a great listener. I appreciate her process, and I’m amazed at how much better I feel after only a few sessions. And if you’re curious about clinical hypnosis, go for it! Dr. Summerhill will help you achieve your goals.”

– Richard

I worked with Dr. Summerhill specifically to address struggles stemming from grief + depression. Each session was successful. My anger softened, and my productivity went up without me beating myself up to accomplish goals. After the third session, I felt a shift in the way I carry myself – I have greater confidence and an awareness of my worth. My “self-talk” is kind and encouraging. Dr. Summerhill is skilled, gentle, and kind. I felt heard and safe in sessions with her. I highly recommend her for any issues you are facing.
