Hi, I’m Lauren.
You’re likely here because something feels off, overwhelming, or hard to make sense of—and you don’t have to navigate that alone. A big part of this work is creating a space where you can slow down and explore what’s really going on, at your own pace.
My interest in this work is personal. The impact therapy had on my own life is what led me here, and it continues to shape how I show up with clients—grounded, present, and genuinely invested in the process.
I’ve worked with individuals across a range of settings, including community mental health, traumatic brain injury rehabilitation, private practice, and pro bono work. Through this work, I’ve supported people from diverse backgrounds and with a wide range of needs. Over time, I’ve found myself especially drawn to working with relationship patterns—how we connect, communicate, and show up with others—which continues to shape the focus of my work today.
If you’ve been feeling stuck in the same patterns, overwhelmed by your thoughts, or disconnected in your relationships, this is the kind of work we can do together. We’ll slow things down, make sense of what’s been weighing on you, and begin to shift it—so you’re not just getting through, but actually feeling different.

My approach
I am an integrative therapist, meaning I do not believe in a “one size fits all” approach. I draw from multiple therapeutic models, combining them into a cohesive approach tailored to each client's needs. In practice, I primarily draw from experiential therapy, EMDR therapy, attachment theory, and existential theory. I believe it is old thought patterns, life experiences, narratives from our childhood, and early experiences that shape the way we see ourselves and the world. Through our work together, we will uncover what those patterns are, and create new beliefs, experiences and stories that feel more authentic to you in the now.
Throughout my practice, I have found that one of the most significant ways that the brain can change, is through the neural networks in our subcortical brain. Experiential modalities work best to activate these parts of our brain to illicit the change you desire. Experiential therapy focuses on the here and now. Through increased awareness in not only our brain but also in our body, we can shift the ways we think.
I believe, and research supports, that the rapport between therapist and client is essential for successful therapy. For this reason, I prioritize the therapeutic relationship, placing it at the forefront of our work together.
