Hey, I'm Lauren

I'm a therapist who brings warmth, clarity, and a little realness into the therapy room. I help adults work through trauma, anxiety, grief, and relationship stress so they can feel more grounded and alive.

Why I Do This Work

Before becoming a therapist, I spent a decade in public relations—until I realized what I really wanted was to help people reconnect to their inner lives. Since then, I’ve dedicated 20 years to walking alongside people as they heal, grow, and remember who they are.

When I'm Not Working

I’m married (31 years!), a mom to two grown sons, and someone who recharges through nature, art, and meaningful conversation. I'm a lifelong learner, always finding new ways to deepen and soften.
