Laura received her Bachelor’s degree in Sociology from The University of Texas of the Permian Basin where she graduated magna cum laude, and she is a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor. She has extensive substance abuse treatment administration experience, with a focus on utilization review, insurance claims, financials, and software applications. Laura’s passion for client success and improved quality of life comes from her personal experience with addiction and alcoholism and through family experiences that have shown her the beautiful life an addict or alcoholic can experience when given the support and tools to live in the light.

Laura is a native Texan and has lived in the greater Austin area with her two children since 2015. She feels the strong recovery community based here is paramount for individuals and families struggling with alcoholism and addiction to find freedom and peace.
