Hi, I'm Lauren, and I am a licensed counselor in GA and NV. As a mental health counselor, I believe in meeting you exactly where you are—with compassion, curiosity, and without judgment. Whether you're facing anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, or simply feeling overwhelmed, you don’t have to navigate it alone. My approach is collaborative and tailored to your unique needs. I draw from evidence-based practices, but more importantly, I take time to truly understand your story, your strengths, and what healing looks like for you. Outside of my work, I love spending time with my husband and kids, whether we're traveling together or just enjoying a quiet evening at home. I also enjoy baking and planning our next family vacation. Together, we'll work toward building more balance, clarity, and resilience in your life—at your own pace, and in a way that feels meaningful to you.

I specialize in working with women navigating anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and identity-related stress. My approach is holistic, integrating evidence-based practices like CBT, EMDR, and DBT with mindfulness, breathwork, and somatic healing to support the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. I believe therapy should be a sacred space for transformation. Together, we explore the root causes of emotional pain and begin the journey toward self-awareness, inner peace, and lasting change. My goal is to empower you to feel grounded, resilient, and deeply aligned with your truth. Through holistic therapy, you don’t just cope—you heal. You don’t just survive—you thrive.

There are times in our lives when things work together, and all is well with the world.

I am here to help you remember who you are and build the capacity to hold life’s waves and find ways to root back into yourself no matter what is happening around you. My approach is person centered and creative. I weave nervous system regulation, expressive arts, mindfulness, and storytelling to help you feel safe in your body, clear in your mind, and hopeful about your future. Whether you are moving through grief, caregiving fatigue, anxiety, trauma, or simply the disorienting transitions of being human, I will meet you with compassion and honesty. I know the terrain of loss, overwhelm, and starting again. My own story has taught me that healing is never linear but it is always possible. Therapy with me is an invitation to be fully yourself, to process what hurts, and to grow into the life you long for with more presence, confidence, and ease.
