Not Accepting New Clients
Laura is a clinical social worker who offers relational, person-centered therapy grounded in compassion and curiosity. Her work is emotion-focused and collaborative, creating space for thoughtful dialogue and presence. She works with clients to discuss what is happening in their lives and identify what feels most important to them. Laura is active in the work alongside you, listening closely and supporting the ways you are already attuned to yourself.
Laura also considers the broader context of a person’s life, recognizing that well-being is influenced by our environments and the systems we move through. Part of this work includes honoring your lived experience and using practical skills to support intention and regulation. Together, this becomes a shared effort to better understand these influences and find ways to live with more agency. Laura takes an integrative approach to therapy, drawing from a range of modalities and perspectives to discover what works best for each person.
Identifying as neurodivergent, she brings both lived experience and clinical training to her work, offering a flexible and respectful space for the many ways people think and live their lives. Her humanistic perspective carries into her everyday life through connections with nature, music, family, and pets. These connections, along with an endless stream of creative projects, help keep her present and energized. Laura’s clinical work is further informed by a diverse professional background, including roles as an oncology social worker and a school-based therapist. These experiences, along with an earlier career in restaurant management, have fueled her commitment to social justice and deep respect for the complex life circumstances people navigate in their work and communities.
Laura is working under the licensed supervision of Leah Bonine, MSW, LICSW, while pursuing clinical licensure as a LICSW.
