Laura has been consistently drawn to individuals and families whose lives have been upended by unexpected circumstances. Her work began with those navigating new medical diagnoses, supporting them as they adjusted to profound changes in their lives. She later expanded this work at Family Promise, walking alongside families experiencing homelessness and helping them regain stability during deeply uncertain times.

Across all of these experiences, Laura witnessed something powerful: the incredible resiliency of people. Even in the face of overwhelming challenges, they develop new skills, adapt and move forward- often stronger than before. 

Laura is a Gainesville native and graduated from Oxford College and Emory University. Laura earned her master's degree in Social Work from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and has been licensed as a Clinical Social Worker for over twenty-five years. With a clinical background and training in EMDR therapy, Laura uses a trauma-informed approach to help create connectiongs between thinking and feeling to help her clients move through stuck places and build solid future foundations. 

Laura is here to support you through life's unpredictable moments. She is licensed in Georgia for face-to-face and telehealth services.
