Prior to joining Framework, Laura pursued her clinical training at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, the York University Psychology Clinic, the Traumatology Institute and the Family Psychology Centre.

Laura conducts clinical research at York University’s Trauma and Attachment Lab, where she investigates the process and outcome of various interventions for Post traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in children and adults. Additionally, Laura has collaborated with agencies such as the SickKids Centre for Community Mental Health, Kindercare Pediatrics, and the Traumatology Institute. Her most recent work involved developing an innovative way to investigate nonverbal behavior in trauma and attachment contexts.
