Hi there, I'm Lauren!
My therapeutic approach is derived from a combination of cognitive-behavioral and systemic techniques. Each interaction is addressed in relation to habitual patterns that may have become stuck or conflictual, and a systemic therapist makes interventions to help the client(s) consciously make healthier choices to create more intimacy or functionality in these relationships. I have been in private practice for over 10 years, helping couples and individuals with their relationship conflicts, psychiatric challenges, and their desires for improved communication and intimacy. I specialize in treating a variety of sexual disorders/conflicts, including orgasmic disorders, desire discrepancy, erectile disorder, pelvic pain, infidelity, performance anxiety, out-of-control sexual behavior, non-monogamous relationships, and helping in establishing better boundaries. In addition to the couple and sexual issues, I am skilled in working with clients who have general psychotherapy goals they want to address, including work/life balance, a family of origin stress, couple communication standoffs, depression, and anxiety.
I am a collaborative therapist who works with clients’ strengths to explore the behaviors, thoughts, communication patterns, and interactional patterns that are associated with the problems presented. After a thorough initial assessment, I work with clients to clarify goals, identify resolutions to the presenting issues, followed by a wide array of interventions, and home assignments to help achieve these goals.
I understand that people find it at times challenging or embarrassing to discuss their sexual lives with anyone, and I take pride in providing a judgment-free environment with compassion, empathy, and openness so that clients feel comfortable. It is important to me to recognize the diversity of each person and adapt her therapeutic techniques to the unique needs of each client. My ultimate goal for each client in therapy is to be provided with tools and specific techniques to master and utilize during and after completing their work in therapy.
