About
Laura’s approach is rooted in compassion, empathy, patience, and understanding. She recognizes that mental health is a deeply personal and often vulnerable topic and strives to create a safe, non-judgmental space where patients feel heard, supported, and comfortable. Laura believes it’s essential that every patient knows she is there to help, never to judge.
One of Laura’s core strengths is building trusting therapeutic relationships. She takes the time to truly listen to each patient, validating their experiences and emotions while guiding them toward insight and healing. Laura is mindful that everyone’s journey is unique and tailors her approach to meet each individual’s specific needs.
A key component of Laura’s clinical process involves gathering comprehensive histories. While it’s common to focus on current complaints, she prioritizes obtaining a full picture of both medical and psychiatric history. This comprehensive approach allows her to better understand patients and helps avoid misdiagnoses or oversight of contributing factors. Laura believes in treating the whole person, not just current symptoms. Laura is most inspired by the opportunity to build meaningful, long-term relationships with patients. She takes the time to learn about their personal histories, life experiences, and individual challenges.
