Therapist

I have 45 years of experience and specialize in many areas of expertise - addictions, LGBTQ+ mood disorders, trauma, grief, workplace issues to name a few.. I am a total insurance based practice and slide scale if necessary. Therapy is a process of self healing , discovery, growth and positive change. I try to promote a relaxed, open empathic experience with support and feedback. Prior to a first visit , I will do a 15 minute free consultation to see if we are a good fit. If we schedule an appointment, I will find out insurance benefits because I like all financial expectations out of the way so that it does not take time out of the session. Forms and consents are also sent via email prior to the session, so that any " business" needs are out of the way.

Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor who specializes in perinatal and maternal mental health, supporting women through pregnancy, postpartum, motherhood, and the many emotional changes that come with becoming a parent. I work with women experiencing postpartum anxiety, postpartum depression, pregnancy-related stress, maternal burnout, overwhelm, self-esteem concerns, and difficult life transitions. My goal is to provide a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can feel understood while developing practical tools to feel more grounded, confident, and connected to yourself again.

I also work with children and adolescents and bring more than seven years of experience as a school counselor into my therapy practice. I support younger clients navigating anxiety, behavioral challenges, academic stress, self-esteem, emotional regulation, social challenges, and other social-emotional concerns. My background in schools allows me to understand the many factors that can affect a child or teen both at home and in the classroom.

Whether you’re struggling to adjust to motherhood, feeling unlike yourself during pregnancy or postpartum, navigating anxiety or burnout, or looking for support for your child or teen, you don’t have to figure it out alone. Together, we’ll work toward greater understanding, healthier coping skills, and meaningful change in a space where you can feel safe, supported, and heard.

Hi, I'm Lauren, and I'm so glad you're here. I know reaching out for help can feel overwhelming, and taking that first step isn't always easy. My hope is that from the moment we meet, you'll feel welcomed, heard, and never judged. With years of experience caring for individuals in medical and behavioral health settings, I've learned that healing begins when people feel safe enough to be themselves. I strive to create a compassionate, supportive space where you can ask questions, share openly, and know that you don't have to navigate life's challenges alone.

Taking the first step towards therapy can be a really vulnerable experience. Sometimes it feels like you don't have the time for it, or you feel you don't deserve to take time out of your day to focus on yourself. That's why it's my priority to create a space where you feel comfortable to show up exactly as you are without judgement. If you find that you are holding it together on the outside, but on the inside you feel overwhelmed, burnt out, and like you are constantly worrying about the next thing, it may be time to slow down and process what you’re experiencing.
