Hi there, I'm Lauren Have you experienced trauma from childhood or adulthood? Have you served in the military? Do you feel pulled in a million directions, unable to fit it all in? Are you struggling to keep up with your relationships, work and health? Are you a high performer trying to manage trauma, anxiety and avoid burnout? Together, we can identify what's not working and get you back to living a higher quality of life! Whether you're dealing with trauma, relationship issues, or cycles of anxiety and depression, I'm here to help!! Seeking therapy can feel scary, but you're making the right choice to better yourself and make a positive impact in your own future! 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 just chat and figure this out TOGETHER!
During our first session, I will collect some background info and information related to your current symptoms. You can ask me questions and we will just chat. At the end, I will ask if you are comfortable and would like to engage in routine sessions.
I like to utilize evidence-based treatments (CBT, CPT). I also focus on empowering individuals to focus on self-care and utilizing coping skills routinely. We all need to "break up with stress" and I want your quality of life to be high!
I have been a trauma therapist for 10 years. Primarily working with Combat Veterans, current Military members and victims of Military Sexual Trauma. I also have extensive experience working with individuals that suffer with anxiety and depression. My approach is somewhat untraditional and informal. I like to create a safe, nonjudgmental space for everyone. You can cuss (I might cuss too!), you can yell, you can stand, sit or lie down. You won't offend me or scare me. Let's do this together! You are never alone, please don’t forget.
