Hi there. I’m Lauren, a Marriage and Family Therapist practicing virtually in New Jersey. I received my Masters in Psychology from Northcentral University and I am a 3rd year medical student. I help clients identify what areas they want to change in their lives and provide a non judgmental space to explore them. Parents of young children, LGBTQ couples, and postpartum mothers are just some of the clients I have experience in treating.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
You can expect a non judgmental, open minded, yet direct approach from me in session. Maybe you are a parent of young kids and you put them to bed and pop on for a session to work on your relationship. Or, maybe you have intrusive thoughts postpartum and need someone to support you while you recover and heal.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I pride myself on coming from a place of non judgement, and find those that lead different lives than me, interesting. You are the expert in your life and my role is someone to provide clarity, reflection and tools.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-i)
CBT connects your thoughts and feelings to behavior. Breaking it down and apart can help identify where to make changes, which in turn helps to prevent patterns you want to modify.
Gottman method
I use Gottman’s method for couple’s therapy. It helps me identify where the problem areas are within a relationship as well as provides tools to modify them. The focus is on an interaction not the person which helps to create a non judgmental space.
Integrative
What works for one person may not work for another and that is why I tailor my approach to the individual.
Attachment-based
I am a big advocate of attachment based therapy especially in parenting.
