Why should you work with me?

Bridging the gap between patient experience and clinical care

I’m a licensed clinical professional counselor and consultant with 15 years of clinical experience and nearly four decades of lived experience in the healthcare system. I created The Dual Stethoscope Model to help medical professionals and patient communities see care from both sides.

TESTIMONIALS

  • Lara has helped me in so many ways! Her attentiveness and care genuinely comfort me while her wisdom and thought provoking questions help to encourage and inspire me. She has a unique way of helping me to see myself differently and problem solving techniques that make my mountains seem more like mole hills. Her coaching style has been tough love with grace and (best of all) no judgement. I am grateful to have found her! Thank you, Lara, for the work you’ve done with me. I’m a better woman because of you and I certainly wouldn’t have gotten here without you. - April

  • Working with Lara has been one of the most positive and grounding experiences I’ve had. She is incredibly relatable and makes it easy to open up, no matter what I’m bringing into our sessions. I always feel heard, supported, and understood. She tunes into my needs and meets me exactly where I’m at. She’s given me practical tools and strategies that I can actually use in my day-to-day life and they’ve made a real difference. Her insight, compassion, and ability to create a safe, trusting space, have helped me grow in ways I didn’t expect. I’m truly grateful for the care and guidance she offers! - Tori
