About Laura
Laura is a pansexual and neurodivergent licensed clinical social worker practicing in Tennessee (fully licensed) and Georgia (practicing under supervision).
Laura’s therapeutic style is warm, kind, and honest, and she is skilled in empathetically challenging folks according to their goals and values. She uses a person-centered approach that cultivates genuine connection, embodiment, and empathy for oneself and others.

Laura is also a skilled special effects makeup artist, loves to swim, and creates intricate diamond art. She is also a foster parent and is passionate about providing a safe and loving home to children in need.
