Hello! I’m Laura, an Associate Clinical Social Worker specializing in children, neurodivergent individuals, and young adults, as well as addressing depression and anxiety. I believe in tailoring my approach to fit each person’s unique story. My client-centered process starts from where you are right now. I aim to provide a safe space and a non-judgemental environment for you. As an empath, I can deeply understand your feelings, which helps guide us in choosing the best path forward together.
I earned my undergraduate degree in ABA Psychology from Purdue Global University and my master’s in Social Work from USC. Before pursuing my degrees, I worked as a preschool teacher. My diverse experiences have provided me with a well-rounded perspective, allowing me to better support you with the knowledge I’ve gained along the way.
I look forward to meeting you and supporting you on your journey toward self-discovery and inner peace!
From anxiety and depression to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), we utilize holistic talk therapies and innovative treatments like eye movement desensitization reprocessing (EMDR).
