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.

CBT provides an opportunity to challenge your unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more realistic and healthy ones.
Every person has a different personality and therefor each session is not the same. Our time together will be tailored to your unique needs.
I use this client-centered approach to assist in change by exploring your and resolving your ambivalence
