Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Duncanville, TX covered by United Healthcare

If you’re the one everyone depends on but you feel anxious, burned out, or emotionally drained, you don’t have to keep pushing through alone. I work with adults who are high-functioning on the outside but overwhelmed on the inside, especially women, professionals, parents, caregivers, and veterans navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, burnout, and major life transitions.

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) and over 20 years of experience across diverse healthcare settings. As a veteran, I bring personal understanding of military culture and chronic stress. My approach is collaborative, culturally responsive, and judgment-free, blending evidence-based medication management with supportive, real-world conversation.

If you’re looking for care that feels thoughtful, respectful, and tailored to your life, not rushed or one-size-fits-all, invite you to schedule a consultation and take the first step toward feeling more grounded and supported.

I am a licensed mental health counselor in both Texas and Washington State, trained to work with clients who struggle with depression, anxiety, relationship issues and grief.

Hi there! I'm Lauren a queer, neurodivergent woman who is passionate about supporting and empowering members of my communities. I have worked extensively with members of the LGBTQIA+ community, with teens and emerging adults, and with both perpetrators and survivors of domestic violence. I am EMDR trained and work frequently with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues and life transitions. I am currently accepting individual clients ages 15 and up.

Do you find yourself comparing your life to others and wondering why things don’t seem to fall into place for you? Do you struggle with anxiety, or feeling like you’re not good enough, important enough, or that you exist mainly to take care of everyone else?

If you’ve spent years feeling overlooked, misunderstood, excluded, or expected to simply “pull yourself up by your bootstraps,” therapy can offer a safe space to slow down and explore what you’ve been carrying.

Perhaps you were overlooked or hurt in childhood, bullied or excluded as a teenager, or felt like you never quite fit in. Over time, you may have learned to wear a mask so well that, as an adult, it can be difficult to even identify what feels wrong inside.

I can help you acknowledge that pain, find your voice, and develop greater self-compassion. Together, we can explore the experiences that shaped you, recognize your strengths, and build resilience as you move toward a more empowered way of being.

I work with adolescents, young adults, parents, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, self-doubt, life transitions, and the lasting impact of difficult experiences.

I have specialized training in experiential therapies, including expressive arts and Sandtray, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and insight-oriented talk therapy. I create individualized treatment plans based on your needs, goals, and concerns.

You don’t have to keep wearing the mask or carry everything alone. Therapy can be a place to feel seen, understood, and supported as you reconnect with yourself and move forward.

My experience in medical and forensic social work has shaped the way I care for clients facing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, family concerns, and life transitions. I’ve also supported people navigating complex medical needs, pregnancy and postpartum experiences, aging, domestic violence, and the needs of children with special health care needs.

I hold a Master of Social Work, a Master of Business Administration, and a Bachelor of Arts in Social Work. When I’m away from work, I enjoy running, puzzles, community connections, and time with friends.

You’re doing your best—but parenting can feel heavy. Maybe your child is having big emotions, struggling with anxiety, or acting out in ways that worry you. Maybe you’re exhausted, overwhelmed, and wondering if you’re doing enough. You're not alone—and you don’t have to figure it all out by yourself. I work with moms and children (ages 3–17) who are navigating the hard stuff—anxiety, trauma, life changes, or just the emotional weight of everyday life. Whether your child needs support, or you do (or both), I provide a safe, compassionate space where healing begins and hope grows
