Alaura takes an integrative and client-centered approach to therapy. She draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness practices, Motivational Interviewing, and depth-oriented perspectives influenced by Gestalt and Jungian psychology. These approaches support clients in understanding their thoughts and emotions, building healthier coping patterns, and strengthening their connection to personal values and goals.

When working with children, Alaura incorporates developmentally appropriate play-based techniques to encourage emotional expression, support self-regulation, and promote healthy developmental growth.

She earned her Master of Arts in Psychology from the University of Denver. Her academic background integrates psychological theory with biological and developmental perspectives, informing a holistic understanding of how emotional, physical, and environmental factors interact throughout the lifespan.

Alaura has worked across school-based mental health programs, community mental health settings, and private practice. Her experience includes individual therapy, group counseling, psychoeducation, and collaboration with caregivers and educators to support emotional and behavioral development.
