Meet Laurie

Laurie Budlong-Morse, LMFT

at a glance:

I facilitate lively, life-giving conversations with those seeking to create change.  I value curiosity, complexity, and courage as centerpieces of my shared work with you.  I'm eternally open to new ways of viewing the possibilities and problems that come along with being a human in this messy, beautiful world.

​Here are a few of my favorite areas, in no particular order:

• Individuals and couples who are considering divorce and want honest, open-ended conversations about this decision
• Individuals who are currently engaged in an affair looking to make sense out of their feelings and find a way forward
• Anybody with any amount of anxiety about anything
• Couples where relationship issues have emerged or been exacerbated by significant life changes
• Young adults who are redefining their sense of self, particularly in areas of work, relationships, spirituality, and sexuality
