Hi, I’m Laura.
Licensed Clinical Social Worker.
Oncology Social Worker - Certified.
Hope Dealer. Peace Provider.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas and Colorado, dedicated to supporting individuals navigating life’s most challenging moments.
My journey into oncology social work began years ago when a close family member was diagnosed with cancer. During that time, my family was connected with a hospice social worker whose compassion and guidance left a lasting impact on me. That experience solidified my passion for this field.
I earned my Bachelor’s in Social Work from Texas Woman’s University and started my career as a hospital social worker while completing my Master’s in Social Work at Our Lady of the Lake University. That role opened the door to my work as an oncology social worker—a position I held for 11 years and absolutely loved.
As I advanced in my career and became a licensed clinical social worker, I sought greater flexibility and began offering virtual therapy part-time. Seeing the growing need for specialized support, I took the leap and launched Unraveled Therapy full-time in June 2024.
Now, I work with individuals facing or recovering from cancer, caregivers, and individuals struggling with trauma, anxiety and life adjustments. My therapeutic approach is not “one size fits all.” I tailor each session to who you are as a person, ensuring therapy feels authentic, supportive, and meaningful to you. Building strong connections with my clients in a safe and compassionate space is at the heart of my work.
Outside of therapy, I love spending time with my family and friends, traveling, and embracing my love for food—both cooking and discovering new flavors.
