Hi, I’m Laura—and I believe that you don’t have to be a therapist to help someone. You need the right tools.

Leader in Mental Health & Wellness

I offer Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training because I know, firsthand, how much it matters.
Growing up in the child welfare and juvenile justice systems, I’ve lived through moments when life felt heavy—when I felt unseen, unsupported, and unsure of how to move forward.

What changed everything weren’t grand solutions. It was people:

  • A stranger who listened.

  • A kind word at the right time.

  • A small suggestion that planted the seed of hope.

Those simple acts of compassion helped me begin caring for myself—and inspired my life’s work: helping others do the same.

Why I Created Strong Culture

I founded Strong Culture because I saw a gap: too often, employers treat mental health as an afterthought rather than a foundation for thriving teams.
Workplaces are where we spend most of our lives—and they should be places where compassion, safety, and support are the norm, not the exception.

I believe investing in mental health is not just the right thing to do—it’s a business advantage. When organizations commit to training, awareness, and continued learning, they build resilient teams that are more engaged, connected, and productive.

Strong Culture exists to help leaders turn good intentions into lasting change.
