I believe everyone possesses the resilience to navigate life’s toughest moments; we just need the right tools to unlock it. As a Licensed Professional Counselor and athlete, I bring a unique perspective to therapy—one that is eclectic, shame-informed, and deeply client-centered. With nearly a decade of experience, I’m here to help you move past feeling overwhelmed and back into a life of purpose.
Hi, I’m Lauren. I’m a therapist with over 12 years. I help adults who feel overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally drained, easily overstimulated, or stuck in patterns they’re ready to change. I know therapy can feel intimidating at first, so I try to create a space that feels warm, real, and easy to talk in. You don’t have to have the “right words” or have everything figured out. We can start exactly where you are and work through it together.
CURRENT OPENINGS FOR NEW CLIENTS
Service has been a constant in my life. I have served in the United States Marine Corps, worked in law enforcement, taught in the classroom, and now serve as a Licensed Professional Counselor. Each chapter shaped how I understand stress, trauma, responsibility, and personal transformation.
My work is grounded in both lived experience and clinical training. I know what it means to operate under pressure. I understand how trauma embeds itself in the body and how identity can fracture under prolonged stress. I also know that change is possible when insight is paired with disciplined, intentional work.
Clients often describe me as direct, steady, and grounded. I don’t believe in surface-level coping alone. I believe in helping you understand your patterns, regulate your nervous system, and build internal strength that carries beyond the therapy room.
Whether you are navigating PTSD, anxiety, depression, or a major life transition, our work together is focused on clarity, resilience, and sustainable change.
I am a Marriage and Family Therapist who has been practicing since 2018, specializing in working with couples and families who want to improve communication and deepen their understanding of one another.
My approach is collaborative and solution-focused, and I work to help clients identify their strengths and develop practical, meaningful solutions that align with their values and goals.
Originally from Bulgaria, I have lived in the United States for over 23 years, which has shaped my cultural awareness and perspective. I have experience working with individuals and families from diverse backgrounds and strive to create a respectful and inclusive therapeutic environment.
It is a privilege to walk alongside my clients as they work toward growth, clarity, and becoming the best version of themselves.
I speak English, Bulgarian, and Spanish!

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Texas
Searching for therapists in Texas starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want support with. Across a state as large and varied as Texas, therapy needs and available therapists can differ across urban, suburban, and rural areas. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or major life changes. Review each therapist’s listed specialties, approach, and experience to see whether their background matches your needs. Some therapists may use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, while others may focus on specific populations or concerns.
Location and format also matter when comparing Texas therapists. In larger areas like Houston, Dallas, and Austin, you may have many choices, while other parts of the state may have fewer local options. Some people prefer meeting in person, while others choose virtual sessions for scheduling flexibility or easier access from home. As you narrow your search, look at appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios before booking can help you understand how they describe their style, what sessions may feel like, and whether their communication approach fits your preferences.
The cost of therapy in Texas can vary, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for Texas therapists who match your preferences, accept your insurance, and are ready to take new patients. Nationally, Headway works with over 100 insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking. From there, you can compare therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
