Laura Ahlstrom, L-MFT
Hi, I'm Laura. My passion is helping individuals and couples deepen their understanding of themselves, discover and embrace a fuller, more aligned version of who they are, and experience the joy of sharing their hearts and lives more fully with the people they love.
I believe that when we nurture relationships to be strong, safe, and more loving, their impact reaches far beyond the couple- transforming lives, strengthening both marriages and families as well as shaping more connected and peaceful communities. For this reason, I pursued training as a board-certified marriage and family therapist and expanded my work into relationship coaching allowing me to provide more support for more people. Over the past decade, my work with clients has shaped an approach to healing that builds on existing strengths, works with the way our minds work and honors the profound interconnectedness of our mental, physical, and relational well-being.
My goal is to help couples move beyond cycles of misunderstanding, disconnection, and frustration toward the courage to reach for one another, the willingness to hear and understand, and the grace to grow and move forward together.
If you are ready to take the next step. I'd love to be a part of your journey!
James Ahlstrom, DPT
I’m a Nevada native, Physical Therapist, and lifelong learner who enjoys exercise and challenging myself. With a bachelor’s degree in Exercise Physiology and experience in hospital, rehabilitation, outpatient, pediatric, and home health settings, I’ve had the opportunity to help people at many stages of life and recovery.
I’m passionate about understanding how the body works and helping people build strength, improve function, and feel their best. I’m especially interested in weight management and its role in recovery, long-term health, and preventing physical limitations.
Laura and I brought our practices together because we believe well-being involves both the body and the mind. As a husband and father of three, family means everything to me. Outside of work, I enjoy exercise and remodeling homes. I want to help people enjoy a more active, functional life for as long as possible—and make the most of all that life has to offer.
