welcome

Laura is a licensed clinical psychologist practicing in New York State. She offers both in-person and virtual therapy for adolescents and adults based in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn (603 Bergen Street, Brooklyn, NY). Therapy typically includes the cultivation of insights and personalized strategies to address emotional and relationship challenges impeding authenticity and flourishing. It also involves sensitive attention to one’s past history, sociocultural context, and issues of meaning. She specializes in working with high school and college students, as well as creatives, athletes, and professionals. She treats the spectrum of anxiety disorders and obsessive-compulsive disorder in adults and children using evidence-based treatments. She also utilizes somatic experiencing and internal family systems for issues that do not respond as readily to talk therapy. She is typically described as warm, humorous, and thoughtful and welcomes a relational, collaborative approach to therapy.

Education and Training

Laura received a PhD in clinical psychology from Boston University and a master’s degree in clinical psychology from Columbia University. She received extensive clinical training from the Center for Anxiety and Related Disorders (CARD), as well as Harvard Medical School’s McLean Hospital and Massachusetts General Hospital.
