About Laura

Finding the right fit for your mental health treatment is no easy task. If you are seeking out help with your mental health for the first time, you have probably noticed the confusing alphabet of letters that trail behind the names of mental health professionals. So let’s demystify it. Laura is licensed as a Marriage and Family therapist (LMFT) but that doesn’t just mean she’s a couples therapist only. Laura is trained to think about you holistically taking into account your experiences, your physical health, your beliefs and values. If it’s important to you, it’s important to her. Laura is also a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP). 

This jumble of letters signifies that Laura is a nurse specializing in mental health licensed to prescribe medications in addition to providing therapy. With her medical focus, she can help to identify medications that could be safe and effective for use for your particular health situation. In addition, Laura is studying Integrative Mental Health to be able to provide suggestions with the use of supplements, diet and other more natural approaches. She is also aware of how trauma can impact your physical and emotional well- being. There is now definitive research that correlates adversity in childhood with social, emotional and physical challenges throughout the course of your life. Laura is dedicated to spreading awareness about ACES and to helping you discover your resilience. As you can probably tell, Laura loves to learn and will continue to pursue cutting edge knowledge to bring to her work. She also enjoys writing, good films and documentaries and spending time in her garden.
