Thank you for taking the first step toward healing. Although therapy can seem daunting, I promise you that it’s so worth the effort! I focus on helping my members learn to be OK with uncertainty. We can't be certain about most things in this life, and OCD often grabs onto the need for certainty. Through Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), I'll work with you to understand your core fears and how to conquer them. I'll teach you to have a different relationship with your intrusive thoughts, so they no longer take over your life.

Lauren is the therapist who confirmed my OCD diagnosis- who I have been with on this journey so far. Amazing, supportive, kind, warm are just some of the words I would use to describe her. She is attentive and understanding, and does a great job balancing being supportive and driving her clients towards their next goal. I genuinely look forward to our sessions together, and am so grateful to have found someone who believes I can overcome this phobia and who is willing to support me every step of the way. Could not recommend her enough!!

Lauren is very kind, empathetic, and understanding to even my most shameful ocd themes. Its relieving knowing I can tell her the things my ocd thinks is unacceptable.

Lauren has been amazing in my journey with OCD. This is my first time doing this type of treatment for OCD and I was always scared to try it out. Lauren has made the process really nice. It's not an easy thing to do or go through and she has been there for me every step of the way. She always works with me on times and responds to my messages. I can't think her enough for helping me!!

Lauren is an experienced and knowledgeable therapist. When I first started therapy, I was struggling in many areas of my life due to my OCD symptoms. However, through Lauren's expert guidance, I have made significant strides forward. I cannot recommend Lauren enough. Her expert knowledge of OCD helped me better understand what OCD is. In addition, she expertly helped me move forward by devising different exposures specifically designed for me and my subtype of OCD. Lauren is excellent!

Lauren continues to be a priceless mentor on my path to mental health and personal development. She has substantially enhanced my capacity to navigate daily life by providing me with vital tools and abilities through her expertise and kind instruction. Her method blends practical tactics with empathy, giving me the confidence and strength to take on obstacles head-on. But it's important to recognize that therapy requires cooperation from both parties. My desire to actively participate in the process, even while my therapist offered the necessary structure and support, was what ultimately made the difference. My entire quality of life and mental health have improved significantly as a result of my self-reflection and application of the strategies I learnt in therapy to my everyday routine. I am deeply grateful for my therapist's guidance and encouragement
