Laura’s calm and compassionate presence fosters a safe, open, and judgment-free environment where folks can be comfortable being their true selves. She is pursuing her Master’s Degree in Counseling for Mental Health and Wellness from New York University after returning to school in her 40s to achieve her lifelong goal of being a counselor.

Believing that her clients are the experts of their stories, her goal is to hold space with unconditional positive regard and empathy.

Laura's passion in the field is driven by her own experiences navigating complex cultural and family dynamics, including life transitions, illness, and loss.
