Most of the time, most of us, are just doing the best we can. When we get stuck, it’s due not to inability, rather lack of experience or knowledge. Sometimes we just need to be heard and feel understood. Sometimes, we need to add more skills to our toolbox or see things from a different perspective.
Throughout the years of my experience in hospitals and private practice, many advances have been made in the field of psychology. We understand so much more about how our brains work! We’ve developed new techniques and refined old ones to help rewrite new neural pathways, change negative thinking habits and heal emotional trauma.
I try to approach each client with total acceptance of where you are and who you are right now. As we explore the issues you are dealing with, I hope to be able to teach you some new, highly effective ways to feel more in control of your emotions, reactions and your life. I use a compassionate, multifaceted approach of cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, EFT and even exercise to empower you to help yourself.
I look forward to joining you on your life’s journey.
You can do this!!

Lauren is a wonderful therapist, she's respectful and down to earth, while talking with her I find her to be very friendly and open, at times I forget I'm talking to a therapist as it feels like chatting with a friend, I would 100% reccomend her to anyone.
I've worked with a few therapies over the years, and non of them compare to Lauren.

Been with my therapist for 5 years on and off, and she doesn’t skip a beat when I resume my sessions. Her memory and notes makes the session feel more personal which is validating ; it’s healing feeling seen. She also has a great skill of getting to the root of complex feelings with few words which gives time to both sit with and identify the feelings being processed. One of the stronger therapists on the platform!

Lauren is very friendly and knowledgeable. From the start, she got that I tended towards being analytical and liked to understand things. She gives me explanations of concepts she thinks I can apply to my situation and strategies she thinks I could find useful. When we have live sessions, she's attentive to the details of the information or journal entries I've sent her and comes prepared to have a relevant conversation.

I've been working for the better part of the year. She has been a huge part of healing olds trauma while helping me identify unhelpful behaviors, discover what I would like to replace them with
and work through adjusting my behaviour. I have done the slow hard work and can fully see how therapy can be life changing in providing a better quality of life regardless of the adverse situations you have or are experiencing.

Lauren has given me a safe space to express my deepest thoughts, feelings, fears and desires. She has offered me support, encouragement, guidance and clarity during a challenging time in my life. However, the most valuable gift she has offered me is her unconditional acceptance; which by way of example, is teaching me how to have self-compassion and self-acceptance. My self-esteem and overall outlook on life has greatly improved, over these past months, since I started working with Lauren.

Joining BetterHelp is proving to be beneficial to me. I get the chance to articulate my issues in an environment that I feel I can open up and not I don’t feel judged. My counselor is brilliant and so knowledgeable. She has helped me and is helping me find new skills to cope with my fear and angry outbursts. I understand it will take time and I’m enjoying the journey.
