About:
I am a board certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, practicing since 2012. My treatment philosophy goes far beyond merely providing a prescription. I want to listen to what is happening in your life and how it affects your symptoms. Treating the whole person is a unique attribute of a nurse practitioner, it’s our super power! I believe the things that happen in our lives and how they affect us are a combination of the emotional aspects of who we are and how the chemicals in our brains that help control our mood interact. It is that combination that makes us all individuals. It is my job and my mission to find the aspects of your mood that can be helped by medication to maximize the work you are doing in therapy. Some people are scared of medications. I understand that and will always take the time to explain what medications I choose for you and why, or if I feel you would not benefit from medication at all, and why. I love my work because I get to meet all kinds of people and help support them on the journey to being their best selves. I look forward to working with you.
NOTE: Laura does not prescribe stimulant medication and is very conservative with her use of controlled narcotics such as benzodiazepines. She does not complete FMLA, disability, emotional support animals or bariatric surgery readiness documentation. Also, Laura also does NOT provide psychotherapy services; rather, she can only write prescriptions for psychiatric medicines.
