Wellness Professional

Hello! My name is Laura. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and earned my Master’s in Counseling with a School Counseling specialization from Northern Illinois University (Go Huskies!). I am also a first-generation Latina graduate.

Before joining Elgin Community College, I worked in school counseling, private practice, and diverse community settings—from case management to crisis response—which shaped my holistic approach to wellness.

As a counselor, my goal is to provide a safe and affirming space for students to explore their goals, overcome challenges, and define what wellness looks like for them.
