With a background in coaching and psychology, Laura brings a compassionate approach to her counseling practice. She is well-versed in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and more.

Beyond her professional journey, Laura's love for nature, hiking, and travel energizes her. She shares these adventures with her wife and their beloved pups, fostering a connection that enriches both her personal and professional growth.
