Hi there, I'm Lauren!

I am a therapist who specializes in helping clients navigate challenges with anxiety, depression, trauma, and interpersonal relationship struggles. In my practice, I aim to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can process your experiences, build coping skills, and move toward the changes you want for yourself.

My focus

I work best with clients who are ready to explore themselves more deeply and who may be feeling weighed down by anxiety, stress, past trauma, or difficulties in relationships. Many of my clients come to therapy because they feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of how to move forward. I provide a safe and supportive space to process these challenges.

My approach

I primarily use cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) along with a humanistic approach to help you recognize and shift unhelpful thought patterns. This work is practical and provides you with tools to gain more control over your emotions and behaviors. I EMDR certified, which can be especially helpful for processing trauma and difficult experiences.
