Hi there, I'm Lauren!

I work with adults specializing in anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy, I help clients meet their treatment goals and find relief.

My focus

I’ve found that my style and approach resonate well with young to middle-aged adults who are going through life’s transitions and coping with social pressures. These challenges often show up as anxiety, depression, stress, or feeling stuck. I help my clients navigate these changes, build coping skills, and ultimately feel better about themselves.

My approach

I tailor my therapy approach to fit each client's unique needs. I commonly use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to create a clear, shared understanding of your situation and work collaboratively to develop a path forward.
