I’ve been there. I have been in that moment when things have become so unmanageable, frightening, and painful that I sought help from a complete stranger. Like you, I found the courage to find this page. I have been through my own process of healing and continue to journey towards positive, healthy change. I am a licensed professional trained to guide others through their own unique process of healing. I offer an authentic relationship and provide a safe, nonjudgmental environment where you can be heard, validated, and supported. I offer warmth, insight and skills training that will assist you in meeting your needs and goals for change. As we work together, you can expect to gain new perspective, skills, and greater understanding and insight - all catalysts to the change you're hoping to experience. Change and growth can be difficult, but you can be empowered to move forward, heal, and begin living a life you fully enjoy.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Each first session is different depending on clients history of therapy experience(s), their immediate comfort level, and their desires/needs at the moment of the first session. Essentially, I can be more directive and explain the process and lead if needed, or less directive and allow you as the client to lead and I guide and inquiry as we progress.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I specialize in addictions, including process addictions and eating disorders, LGBTQ+, relationship struggles, mood struggles (e.g., anxiety, depression, bipolar), and ADHD. Please feel free to reach out to me with questions.

I felt very comfortable which is new for me. She was able to joke around while also making me feel heard no matter what I said

I really like Lauren. She’s very knowledgeable and has a very academic mindset when it comes to my treatment. She’s also funny and really listens to what I have to say.
