(she/her)
Hi there, I'm Lauren. Do you feel overwhelmed and pulled in numerous directions, unable to say no or fit it all in? Are you struggling with substance use? Is it difficult to give yourself credit when credit is due? Are you your own worst critic? I can help you manage anxiety, build self-confidence and create realistic expectations. Together, we can identify what's not working and get you back to balance. I applaud you for taking the first step by seeking therapy. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the hangups and habits holding you back. Let's work together!
In our first session we will work together to learn about your goals. In order to learn about where you want to go we will need to explore some history as well. This will be at your pace and comfort level. We will build rapport and progress at your speed.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker as well as a Certified Drug and Alcohol Counselor. I have worked with numerous clients in a wide variety of settings. My compassion and desire to help others is my focus every day. I want to assist everyone in achieving their individualized life goals. I am also a huge animal lover and spend time fostering dogs. When the weather is nice you can find me outdoors playing sports, hiking, gardening, etc.
I love working with anyone who is invested in addressing the topics they have identified. We will achieve this through trust and respect while also tapping into new ideas.
