Laura graduated Summa Cum Laude with a Bachelor's in Business Administration from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo. After beginning her career in the tech industry, she discovered her true passion was helping others achieve mental wellness and build meaningful interpersonal connections. This realization led her to pursue a Master's in Counseling from Palo Alto University. Since graduating, she has worked in a variety of clinical settings, including schools, community mental health centers, and private practices.
Laura takes a consultative and client-centered approach to therapy, honoring each individual's role as the expert in their own life. She believes that therapeutic work should be tailored to respect and integrate a person's unique history, identity, and values. Her ultimate goal is to empower clients with the tools and insights needed to navigate their personal journeys and achieve lasting change on their own terms.
Outside of her professional work, Laura enjoys being outside, attending live music events, and spending time with her husband, son, and mini golden retriever.
