I work primarily with adults who feel overwhelmed or dysregulated and may struggle to put words to what they’re experiencing. Using mindfulness-based techniques, Internal Family Systems, motivational interviewing, and CBT/DBT tools, I help clients build balance, clarity, and emotional understanding. I am also experienced in providing group support for populations who have endured traumatic events which require critical incident responses. I also have experience assisting companies who are facing reduction in force.

Hi, I'm Lauren. I specialize in helping individuals heal from eating disorders, trauma, anxiety, and depression through a compassionate, whole-person approach.

You deserve a place where you don't have to pretend you're okay or worry about being misunderstood. I strive to create a space where you can bring your whole self, your strengths, your struggles, your questions, and even the parts of yourself that have never felt easy to explain. I work with children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship concerns, ADHD, autism, and other mental health challenges. Every person experiences the world differently, so rather than relying on assumptions, I take the time to understand your unique story, how your mind works, and what has shaped your experiences. Together, we'll identify practical strategies to reduce distress while building a life that feels authentic, meaningful, and sustainable. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I believe that meaningful change begins with feeling genuinely understood. Therapy isn't about changing who you are, it's about helping you better understand yourself, recognize your strengths, and develop the tools to move forward with greater confidence. I offer both in-person and virtual appointments for children, adolescents, and adults. Finding the right therapist matters, and I would be honored to be part of your journey.

In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal!
