Laura is also passionate about working with parents of twins, understanding the unique challenges they face in asserting their own identities. As someone with a twin sibling and her own twins, Laura brings a personal understanding to her work with families. She also specializes in supporting adolescents who may be struggling with the transition to college, helping them advocate for themselves, assert their independence, and develop essential life skills.
