Laura is a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with over a decade of experience working with clients with acute, complex, and chronic mental health needs.

Laura is a member of the Association for Size Diversity and Health (ASDAH) and the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), and is committed to creating a supportive, affirming, and empowering environment for clients of all sizes, genders, gender identities, sexual orientations, races, ethnicities, faiths, ages, and abilities.
Laura completed her Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (MSN) at the University of California, San Francisco, and her undergraduate nursing education at the Community College of Allegheny County (Pittsburgh, PA) and California University of Pennsylvania. She is also a veteran of the United States Air Force.
