LPC, 10 years of experience
I’m a therapist within the field of Mental Health with over 10 years of experience. I have experience in helping clients with anxiety, stress management, adhd, depression/mood disorders, and simply navigating through life. My preferred therapy approach is providing a safe and warm-welcoming environment. It is important for clients to be challenged as many of us are resistant to change. I utilize an eclectic approach with clients based on their needs. Clients should walk away from each session feeling as though they have learned something new about them selves.
Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and begin building a strong foundation for your care. During this time, I’ll ask questions to better understand your concerns, goals, and what brought you to therapy. We’ll talk about your personal history, current challenges, and any specific hopes you have for our work together. This session is also a time for you to ask any questions you may have about the therapy process, my approach, or what to expect moving forward. My goal is to create a safe and supportive space where you feel comfortable sharing at your own pace.
One of my greatest strengths as a provider is creating a warm and non-judgmental space where clients feel safe, supported, and heard. I understand that starting therapy can feel vulnerable, and I strive to make the process as approachable and collaborative as possible. I’m also skilled at tailoring my approach to meet the unique needs of each client. Whether you're looking for a goal-focused plan or need space to process emotions at your own pace, I’m flexible and responsive to what works best for you.
I work with clients who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or just plain exhausted by life's curveballs. During our sessions, we'll dive into what's weighing you down and create a plan that feels manageable and tailored to you. You can expect a mix of empathy, practical tools, and maybe a little humor (sometimes, laughing through the tough stuff helps). Let's get you back to feeling like the main character.
I may help you challenge negative thoughts and replace them with more balanced ones or develop strategies to manage overwhelming emotions. Whether you're working through life transitions, anxiety, or simply seeking greater peace of mind, my goal is to create a supportive space where you feel empowered and heard as you build new coping skills.
I use Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) to help you focus on your strengths and find practical solutions to the challenges you're facing. SFBT is a goal-oriented approach that emphasizes what’s working well and helps you build on those successes, rather than focusing solely on the problem.
In my practice, I use psychoeducation to help you better understand your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Psychoeducation involves providing information and resources so you can gain insight into the challenges you're facing—whether it's related to anxiety, depression, trauma, or navigating life transitions. Understanding "the why" behind what you're experiencing can be incredibly empowering. I’ll explain mental health concepts in a way that’s easy to grasp, so you feel informed and equipped with tools to manage your symptoms and make meaningful changes in your life.

A few things that stood out to me was her sense of direction, she was able to ask her questions that would better get to know me in addition to allowing me to occasionally go off on a tangent. However remaining on task. She’s very strategic in her approach. As long as you ask the right questions she’ll bounce back with a way to challenge you to think and hold you accountable. Mind you I noticed this in the first session.

Lauren does a great job of helping me look internally at myself and my actions in order for me to be more present in therapy sessions and continue on my healing journey.

She is excellent and I feel like I can open up slowly and begin to start my healing process
