Hi I'm Lauren, I am a Therapist and Coach who provides attachment-based, emotion-focused care and cognitive techniques with a specialty in doing intuitive art as a way to healing, empowerment and self expression. I've been a therapist for over 20 years and find great purpose in my work with clients of every age and lifestyle seeking relief from burnout, personal struggles and the desire to live a more authentic life. I bring a great deal of life wisdom, enthusiasm and understanding along with my clinical skill. I support clients to integrate and share their true expression - to help clarify their needs and move out of feeling stymied and unfulfilled. Talk therapy with me can include gently guided art, movement, and writing to get out of the fog and into clarity and forward momentum.

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

In our first session we'll have Introductions. It is the beginning of creating a trusting relationship and a safe space to share. I'll gather background information and we'll identify your needs. I'll answer any practice questions you may have and get started with clearing a path forward.

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

Some of my strengths are compassion, re-framing, humor, an ability to create a space place in which people can speak vulnerably and deeply so we can discover the best way to approach and solve issues. I enjoy introducing people to and facilitating creative expression. I am a movement and expressive arts facilitator and use dance and art as therapeutic venues for myself and others. A deep sense of spirituality and holistic perspective underlies my work.
