Meet Laura
Hello, I’m Laura, the Founder of Ascend & Inpire. My passion lies in helping leaders like you navigate the complexities of entrepreneurship while prioritizing your mental health. With over 15 years of experience in mental health , I’ve supported , startup founders, and executives across industries to find clarity and confidence in their roles. I bring a compassionate, results-driven approach to every session, ensuring you feel heard, understood, and empowered.
Originally from France, I moved to New York to pursue my passion for mental health and earned my Master's in Counseling for Mental Health and Wellness from NYU in 2012. Throughout my career, I’ve been fascinated by how people embrace change, overcome limiting beliefs, and cultivate resilience. I believe that within each of us lies the desire and ability to reach our full potential, and my work has focused on helping individuals access that potential and remove the obstacles standing in their way.
As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Certified Life Coach, I’ve partnered with clients to identify the thoughts and actions that serve them—and those that don’t. Over the years, I’ve supported numerous clients including entrepreneurs, executives, and leaders in private practice. Witnessing their unique challenges and the intense demands they face inspired me to focus my practice on serving this dynamic group.
Whether you’re navigating high-pressure decisions, striving for balance, or seeking clarity and growth, I provide a space where you can explore solutions tailored to your unique role as a leader. My mission is to guide you toward achieving not just professional success but personal fulfillment and resilience.
Let’s work together to unlock your potential and create a life where success feels sustainable and deeply meaningful.
