Finding the right therapist can feel like a lot, and I want to make that first step a little easier. I'm Lauren, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 18 years of experience.

My clinical experience has included community-based mental health, schools, maternal health, substance use and recovery, and private practice. Working across these settings has allowed me to work with people from diverse backgrounds and at many different stages of life. I understand that no two people are the same, and I tailor therapy to your individual needs, goals, and experiences.

These experiences shaped the thing I believe most: meaningful growth happens when you are met exactly where you are, without judgment and without being rushed.

Whether you are managing anxiety, processing trauma, navigating grief, or simply feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, I would love to be part of your path

forward. Reach out when you are ready.
