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!

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

During our first few sessions, I will be focused on getting to know you. We will pace at your comfort level. I believe creating a strong foundational base is a necessity.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker as well as a Certified Drug and Alcohol Counselor. I have worked with numerous populations 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.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Every person has a different personality and sessions are similar in that no 2 sessions are ever the same. I generally use a client-centered approach and cognitive behavior therapy. However, this will be tailored to your unique needs.
