Did you know that Laura is a local? She was born in DC and raised in Arlington, VA.

Laura graduated from the University of Maryland Couple and Family Therapy program in 2015.

She currently sees clients in private practice in the Capitol Hill neighborhood. She also supervises therapists in training, teaches undergraduates, and is completing a dissertation (She has a few jobs!)

When asked, “Why are you an MFT/what do you like about being an MFT?”, Laura responded: “I am an MFT because I’ve always been curious about what makes people the way they are. I’m thankful that I found a profession that seeks to understand people within their contexts!”

Laura’s position as Member-At-Large is to address member concerns and serve as a liaison between the board and the membership.

Laura’s personal goal in her term as Member-At-Large is to drive more involvement and enthusiasm about the organization and connect more MFTs to each other and to important concerns facing our profession. She hopes to also encourage students to get involved with the MFT community.

Fun Facts About Laura:

1) She completed a Yoga Teacher Training and hope to incorporate this into my clinical work someday.

2) She is a proud middle child (and believes this probably also influences the work that she does!)
