About Lauren
Hello! My name is Lauren, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience working with adolescents and adults in telehealth, inpatient, and field-based settings. Many of the individuals I have worked with have experienced challenges related to relational and childhood trauma, sudden loss, complex marital dynamics, infidelity, negative peer relationships, body image concerns, and other life stressors. The individuals I have worked with are no different than most of us, who on some level are seeking balance, peace, and reassurance.
In our work together, we will explore the root causes of your most pressing concerns. Through mindfulness, person-centered, cognitive behavioral, and solution-focused approaches, we will work toward clarity and self-acceptance. You can expect a compassionate, judgment-free space for authentic self-expression, reflective listening, and renewed perspectives.
Being vulnerable and transparent in an unfamiliar environment can be difficult, but I hope to provide a comfortable space for sharing and exploration. I work well with individuals who are motivated toward change and insight. I have experience supporting those navigating depression, grief, anxiety, life transitions, and childhood and relational trauma.

"In navigating the challenges of everyday life, I recognize the importance of prioritizing self care and exploring the areas of our lives that need healing."
Get to know Lauren
What's one thing you wish all clients knew about therapy, mental health, or the healing process?
I wish clients knew how rewarding the experience of engaging in therapy can be in experiencing the strength and growth that comes with through the healing process.
What can clients expect in their first session with you and in the early stages of therapy?
In our initial meeting, we will take time to discuss your primary concerns. You will share about any previous history in therapy, treatment, medications or presenting conditions and what you would like to gain out of our time working together.
What personal experiences or values inform your practice as a therapist/provider?
As the firstborn to a divorced single mom, I saw firsthand the long-term effects of "being the strong one", for everyone. The stress of everyday life definitely left a strain on her emotional, psychological and physical health. My mom is now a retired nurse and three time cancer survivor, who now makes self-care her number one priority. Now that I am an adult, juggling life's many responsibilities, I have seen the value in prioritizing my self-care and addressing the areas of my life that need healing.
How do you tailor therapy to meet each client’s unique needs?
In the rapport building process, I will determine my approach based on the information you share and your area/s of focus. Also, a process that will best fit your values and personality, leaving space to make adjustments, as needed.
