About Me
Hi, I'm Lauren.
Hi, I'm Lauren.
I'm a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and I've been working in the mental health field since 2010, with direct therapy experience since 2012, and licensed since 2018.
I have always had a passion to help others. I believe that therapy can be beneficial for anyone at many stages of life and for different types of issues. I believe that mental health is a very important part of health, well-being, healing, growth, positive perspective, and living a meaningful life. I love helping others find healthier ways to navigate challenges in life, find hope, heal from pain, grow, build healthier relationships, identify values and have a more fulfilling life.
Throughout my career, I've had the opportunity to work with individuals and families in school-based settings, community mental health, nonprofits, group homes, enrichment programs and private practice. I've worked with people experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD-related concerns, emotional regulation difficulties, life transitions, relationship concerns, parenting challenges and other mental health and adjustment concerns. Those experiences have taught me that there isn't one approach that works for everyone. Instead, I draw from different evidence-informed approaches based on your individual needs, goals and preferences.
You are the expert on your own life. My role is to walk alongside you, help you understand yourself more deeply and give you tools that can help you move forward.
I bring a strength-based, compassionate and collaborative approach to therapy.
I am an ally LGBTQ+, Neuroaffirming, and Veterans
I identify with BIPOC, LATINX community, and Single mother community
My Approach
My Approach
- Collaborative
Therapy is something we do together. You are the expert on your own experiences, and we'll work collaboratively to identify what you want to change.
- Strength-Based
You are more than the challenges you're experiencing. We'll identify your existing strengths and build on them.
- Compassionate
Change is difficult enough without judging yourself along the way. Therapy should be a space where you can be honest and still feel accepted.
- Practical
Understanding yourself is important—but so is knowing what to do next. We'll develop skills and strategies that can help you navigate real-life situations.
- Individualized
Your therapy should fit you—not the other way around. I use different therapeutic approaches depending on your needs.
My Philosophy
My Philosophy
I believe mental health is an important part of living a meaningful and fulfilling life.
Therapy isn't about becoming perfect.
It's about understanding yourself.
Learning how to respond differently.
Creating healthier boundaries.
Building relationships that feel healthier.
Learning to trust yourself.
And finding ways to move through difficult seasons without losing yourself in the process.
If you're ready to begin, I'd be honored to have a conversation with you.
