Laura is a pre-licensed therapist providing individual therapy to adolescents and adults. She holds a master’s degree in school and mental health counseling from the University of Pennsylvania and is working toward licensure as a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania.

With a deep commitment to fostering warm and trusting relationships with her clients, Laura takes a person-centered approach to therapy. She views the therapeutic relationship as a collaborative one, empowering clients to explore their strengths and challenges, gain insight, and create meaningful change.

Laura draws from a variety of clinical frameworks, including cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and motivational interviewing, in a way that matches the strengths and experiences of each individual she sees. She believes in the transformative power of self-reflection, guiding clients to examine how their values, identities, and early experiences shape their mental health and everyday lives.

Prior to joining Philadelphia Integrative Psychiatry, Laura served as an educator and coach for ten years, using sports and academics as vehicles to teach valuable life skills. In her clinical work as a therapist, Laura loves working with clients to develop executive functioning and self-advocacy skills so they can thrive academically, professionally, athletically, and personally.
