Lauren (she/her) believes that people grow when they feel seen and heard. With that in mind, she brings authenticity and realness to the therapy space. Lauren considers it a privilege to get to sit with people as they take the brave step to explore themselves – understanding that choosing to pursue therapy is already an act of courage and commitment to oneself. She works to come alongside kids, adults, and families as they prioritize moving past stress, trauma, and survival towards a fulfilled and content life.

Lauren’s career has focused on serving kids and families who have experienced various traumas including abuse and neglect, working to take the power away from her clients’ past and the ways that the past can impact present functioning. In addition, she has aided in changes of family systems through foster care and adoption and supporting people through times of transition. Lauren is trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EDMR) therapy and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) which she uses to help clients heal from past trauma and negative beliefs they hold. She also uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Child-Centered Play Therapy, and Sand Tray Therapy to ensure that the unique needs of her clients are met.

Lauren looks forward to getting to know you, just as you are!
