Hello, my name is Lauren. I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) and a Licensed Professional Art Therapist (LPAT) in Kentucky. I also am nationally board certified in Art Therapy (ATR-BC). I have spent the past few years working for a non-profit community mental health organization providing therapy for people and families in need. My approach to therapy is very person-centered and adaptable. I am a professional therapist, but you are the expert when it comes to your own life, and it is important that therapy be tailored based on each client's goals and needs in order to be as effective as possible. I am interested in helping people in a way that utilizes their unique strengths rather than focusing only on a diagnosis. The goal is to achieve a positive, healthy state, which does include overcoming difficulties, but is more than that. I am also able to provide art therapy for those who are interested. Art therapy can be useful in cases where it is difficult to express something, or for figuring out how one feels about something. Additionally, the act of making art can be enjoyable and therapeutic in itself. I believe that mental health is just one more part of overall health, and that seeking mental health care should be regarded as similar to receiving any other kind of health care. Every person experiences times when extra help would be valuable, but not everyone seeks out that help. If you are considering therapy, even if you are hesitant, I encourage you to get in touch so that I can help you move in the direction of overall wellness.

I am licensed therapist in Ohio and Kentucky and I provide evidence-based therapy for anxiety, trauma, emotional overwhelm, and relationship patterns that keep repeating — even when you’re doing everything “right.” When life feels overwhelming and you’re not sure where to turn, you don’t have to face it alone. My goal is to help you build real-world skills for emotional regulation, stress management, and healthier relationships, while also helping you understand what’s been driving the patterns you feel stuck in. Therapy can help you feel steadier, clearer, and more in control — not by forcing you to “fix yourself,” but by giving you tools, insight, and support that actually fit your life.
