I am a licensed psychologist who has specialized in comprehensive evaluations for clarification of diagnostic concerns. I have experience clarifying concerns relating to emotional distress, behavioral challenges, memory and attention concerns, learning concerns, and relational difficulties. I have worked as an evaluator in the VA in the past, and have conducted assessments and provided treatment to veterans suffering from PTSD. Having been a university professor in the past, I am detail-focused and thorough in evaluations; I value the work that I do with the QA team, because I try to balance advocacy and support for both veterans and providers.

In my personal time, I stay busy with my partner and my daughter; they keep me on my toes, along with our two crazy cats (named Calvin and Hobbes). We love to travel and take in live shows (music, plays, etc). I frequently travel to California with my family, and we are frequently found playing at the beach or hiking in the foothills while there.

Laurel created Telemedica with the goal of providing reasonably priced solutions for veterans to access a highly qualified team of providers through a simple, easy, and convenient Telehealth platform. Laurel’s leadership focus is customer and patient driven and she cares deeply about the mission of Telemedica.
