Rebuilding lives in our communities

Lisa came to Klarisana with a background in emergency medicine and urgent care. Her interest in working as a physician assistant stemmed from the flexibility it affords to more thoroughly educate patients and assist with their needs more holistically, particularly when there were opportunities to address co-occurring mental and physical health needs. When not at work, she spends time reading, going on walks and hikes with her spaniel, Milly, and enjoying live music across Austin.

Laura handles administrative operations in our Austin clinic. She is a Houston, Texas native and a recent graduate from Texas State University. Her studies included a focus in Psychology and Biology. Laura’s motivation comes from a passion to help others be their best versions of themselves. She has always been interested in the use of innovative and forward-leaning therapies in mental health so Klarisana is a natural fit. In Laura’s free time she enjoys spending time outdoors and playing with her 2 dogs, Jaxon and Paisley.
