About Me
Sex is such a taboo. So let's talk about it. I am a sex positive therapist with an open mindset and a clear understanding that we are all different. I'll assist you with any confusion, challenges, transitions, stress, and provide you with a safe environment. I'll work to help make sense out of those gray areas in life, within yourself and your relationships. We'll work side by side to help you strengthen awareness, focusing on the now, and understand what you can and are able to control. I provide a laid back atmosphere, and a non judgmental approach. Also, if what your going through is not sex related, that's perfectly fine. Let's work together in resulting a healthier and happier you.

Reviews
Lauren is awesome! I felt completely comfortable and able to be 100% open and honest with her. We worked through my acute issues, but due to health/financial issues I have to take a break. If I need this kind of help again I will definitely be back to work with Lauren! Five stars!
Patient listener and easy to talk to. Very helpful for people with anxiety.
When I began my sessions with BetterHelp I was skeptical of how well online counseling would work for me, but after almost a month working with Lauren I feel better mentally than I have in a while. It was reassuring to receive her messages and helped me make peace with the issues that I was having. Lauren was relatable and overall a great counselor!
I feel like I was matched with the perfect counselor for me. She focuses on a part of my life that is commonly taboo, but I need to talk about and work through. She comes across as a real person I'm talking to as well, making jokes, real-life references, and connecting with me. She makes me feel supported, and safe in our space.
As someone who has been looking for a therapist that I get along with for many years now, Lauren is the first who I feel legitimately comfortable with. She's very understanding, and more than anything she has helped me to better understand myself so far.
But even beyond comfort, she has helped me to improve myself, helping me to see my problems from a perspective that I would otherwise have not considered. I hope to continue working with her for quite some time, as she is one of the best therapists I've spoken with in my lifetime thus far.
I just signed up not too long ago, and Lauren has been great so far. She is extremely prompt when responding. At this point, I'm most comfortable with sticking to email conversation and she's been on board since day one. She seems to "read between the lines" and even though we're not in person, she asks questions that get to core issues. She's already made me think about a few sensitive situations in my life differently, and I'm thankful.
She makes me feel very comfortable like I'm talking to a close friend who has my best interest at heart and asking the questions that can help me reflect and grow emotionally.
