About me

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker from Massachusetts with over 10 years of professional experience. I enjoy working with individuals dealing with issues related to anxiety, depression, stress management, trauma, and sexuality issues. I have certificates in Adolescent Community Reinforcement Approach (A-CRA), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI).

I'd like to believe I have been successful in this profession for so many years because not only am I compassionate and non-judgmental, I value the importance of the relationship between a counselor and a client. Trust, communication, and empathy are so important in this field and it is important that clients feel validated.

I appreciate the willingness to even browse the website to look for a counselor, it shows you're contemplating the work, which is the first step. Thank you for taking the time to get this far, and I hope that in some way I can be of service to you in helping you get to wherever it is you want to go.

Lauren is awesome!! She helped me through my difficulties and I emerged into a version of myself that I am so proud of. I now allow myself to live life fully as a HUMAN and embrace all of my traits and parts of myself. I highly recommend Lauren's services.

Lauren was able to accept me in a really a emotional and tough place and get me to a state of calm. She really helped me identity my own goals and solve problems to stick to those goals. I have had a much better time going through a shocking life changing experience with her support than I ever could have otherwise.

Lauren has been incredibly supportive as come to appreciate my true self. Her humor puts me at ease. Being more at ease with my female self makes it a little easier to adjust to it and take steps to embrace it.

I know that there is still a long way to go, and that have only been "seeing" Lauren for a few weeks, but so far she has been a really positive influence in my life.
