About Dr. L

"My medical chart could fill a room, I know what's it like to struggle with chronic health issues often labeled as too complex, a zebra, highly sensitive, or too much. I found my people, diagnoses, and ways to navigate, support and be better equipped to navigate my body and health issues. I also ended up adopting two rescue dogs that had complex trauma and health issues - oh universe! I am here to share the compassion, support, knowledge and skills that have helped me, my dogs, friends and family navigate the world as sensitive, neurodivergent, traumatized beings with health issues " ~ Dr. L
 

Nature, animals, spirituality, magic, ceremonial arts and metaphysics are important aspects to Dr. Lara's life, having first encountered a spiritual medium following the loss of their mother to cancer, Lara was inspired to build skills in intuitive arts like animal communication, reiki, shamanism,  and ceremonial arts. Following the roots of their ancestors back to Salem, Italy, England, Lithuania, Scotland, and Ireland. 

​

Dr. Lara's career started off decades ago volunteering at hospitals evolving into a degree in psychology and social work focused on substance use recovery and HIV then moved into clinical research before attending medical school.You'll find that Dr. L is always learning, reading, or researching.
