  • LPC
  • Behavioral Health Counselor

Laura is a licensed professional counselor with 10 years of experience in university counseling settings. She is passionate about working with the college population, as this stage of life is exciting, but can be a difficult process when developing one's identities, values and sense of self. Laura is part of the Behavioral Health team, helping students who are seeking medical care at Wardenburg Health Center better understand and explore their mental health. She approaches sessions in a collaborative effort, with a focus in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), person-centered and multicultural frameworks. Above all, Laura prioritizes safety and trust in her therapeutic relationships, recognizing that in order to create room for growth or change, clients must first feel seen, understood and supported.
