I enjoy supporting individuals and families to walk whatever path they are on and to assist them in discovering new ways to help themselves improve their lives along the way. Assisting individuals to become happy, healthy, and empowered is a passion of mine. Growth is a beautiful thing to witness and an honor to see that growth first-hand.
I have been providing counseling services to children, adolescents, adults, and families since 2016. Working in an inpatient psychiatric facility has allowed me to gain experience with different areas of mental health.
My experience has taught me of the importance to tailor my approach to what best serves my clients' needs and help them achieve their goals. In that regard, my approach in sessions may vary to include the use of Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-based strategies, a Family systems approach, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills and/or Solution-focused strategies.
I have experience working with individuals coping with mood disorders (depression and anxiety), stress management, self-esteem, family issues, life transitions, and grief/loss. I welcome the opportunity to work with you, your child/adolescent and your family in meeting your counseling needs. I look forward to seeing where the counseling journey takes us. Take those first steps today!

Lauren is very empathetic! I reached out to her when I was feeling overwhelmed, had high anxiety, depression, was crying every day. She validated my feelings and made me feel seen and heard. I am so thankful for her!!

Lauren is an amazing listener. She takes the time to listen and ask questions that provide deep thought into the appropriate progression of an issue or feeing. She remains sensitive to my spiritual growth and consistently provides positive feedback in that manner as well. I’m very thankful I was matched with her as my counselor.

I'm grateful I got paired with Lauren. I feel heard and validated. When I say something, she reflects it back to me correctly and that just shows she understands what I'm saying and she listens to me. She has given me practical skills to cope and deal with the hard situations I'm currently going through.
