Hi there, I'm Lauren- thanks for checking out my profile, I'm glad that you're here! I live in CT with my husband, daughter, and two dogs. I've been in the field since 2018 and became a fully licensed LPC in 2021. I enjoy working with a wide range of clients experiencing anxiety, depression, or difficulty with recent life adjustments. I also enjoy working on building communication skills, increasing self esteem, and exploring boundaires- how to set them and how to honor them.

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

I feel that the foundation to success in therapy is trust in the therapeutic relationship- this is why I like to take the first few sessions getting to know one another. You are the expert of your life, not me! I find that it's so important for you to share your story with me- this will look different from client to client but at baseline learning what brought you to therapy, and a bit about your past/ history. From there- we will work together to come up with a treatment plan that feels comfortable to reach your goals.

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

My biggest strength as a provider is that I'm a regular person- just like you! I don't pretend to be someone I'm not in session and that's what my clients share they like about me. I'm going to meet you where you're at- without judgement. Ready to listen, and support you in whatever way is best for you.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I love working with clients who are motivated to make a change- you know that something's "not quite right" but you're unsure of exactly what, or where to start. I try to incorporate humor into my sessions and I'll always meet you where you're at.
