LPC, 9 years of experience
Have you found yourself wondering how your life has turned out this way? Do you feel stuck in your current circumstances? My practice is focused on providing support to adults from all walks of life who are facing challenges. My 9 years of experience in private practice, inpatient substance use facilities, and community mental health treatment centers allows me to recognize that therapy is not "one size fits all". You will leave our sessions feeling understood and with a plan for your future based on your personal goals and dreams.
After sessions, you will be able to identify your strengths and use coping skills that fit into your life and are in line with your preferences. You will leave sessions feeling heard, validated, and empowered.
I allow each client to provide their unique perspective on stressors they are experiencing in their lives. I have a curious nature, which allows me to connect with clients as I walk through their worlds with them. Together, we will identify aspects of your life you would like to change, and find realistic ways to change them that are relavant and important to you. I consider myself a teammate to each person with whom I work.

Laken makes me feel comfortable and at ease and able to sort my thoughts out. Never pushy nor overly coddle-ly. I've never had therapy before, so I don't know how to tell if it's effective, but I'm also glad I found someone who I want to keep having sessions with. When I get back to my day, I find these sessions serve as both a caring support from a fellow human and also reflective insights that help me navigate my challenges.

Laken was great. Very honest and helped me see my situation in a different perspective.

She put me at ease with her kindness and warmth. I'm encouraged that she is going to be able to help me.
I use ACT to help clients accept their thoughts as just thoughts and move throughout their days without their thoughts controlling them.
I use CBT to implement behavioral practices to alleviate symptoms of depression and/or anxiety.
I use culturally sensitive therapy to understand that each person has a unique worldview. I approach each person's world with an open mind and no assumptions.
I respect and appreciate all gender identities, whether or not a person's gender identity plays a large role in their lives.
I utilize motivational interviewing to help clients reach their goals in life.
