One of my loved ones has battled schizophrenia, OCD, and addiction from a young age. I want to help others see there is always hope, and you don't have to navigate your journey alone. I'm a very person-centered and strengths-based therapist. You should know that going to therapy is extremely brave. Practice kindness, compassion, and grace with yourself, and take things one step at a time. I'll provide homework and use tools for tracking your progress so there is follow-up and accountability. My areas of professional focus include depression, trauma, psychosis, schizophrenia, addiction, anxiety disorders and mood disorders.

Why our members love working with Lauren
M.S.
A paragraph does not do justice on expressing how special of a therapist Lauren is, however, I will do my best to share what kind of a therapist Lauren is to me. Lauren is an understanding, caring, and gentle person. On the prettiest and ugliest of days, Lauren never fails to encourage and patiently work with me. She pushes me out of my comfort zone at a custom pace. Lauren is very knowledgeable in ERP and is creative when suggesting and implementing therapy exercises. Lauren genuinely cares and always celebrates my wins. I was extremely fortunate to find a suitable therapist for me and I encourage everyone to self advocate in finding one for yourself. To Lauren, thank you for being my therapist.
