Life can be hard and sometimes overwhelming, but there is light, even if you can’t see it right now. You don’t have to carry everything alone. With support, healing and growth are possible. You deserve a space where you feel heard, understood, and supported without judgment. Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, but I’m here to walk alongside you. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with over 10 years of experience in the helping profession, including clinical mental health work since 2020. I earned my Master of Science in Education in Clinical Mental Health and School Counseling from Old Dominion University. I work with adolescents, young adults, adults, couples, and veterans ages 11 to 40 supporting concerns such as life transitions, relationships, anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, self-esteem, and personal growth. I focus on building a genuine connection and creating a safe, welcoming space where you can be yourself. I value cultural humility and honor your unique experiences and strengths, meeting you where you are while supporting your growth. I believe healing happens in supportive relationships. Whether you’re facing challenges, processing the past, or moving into a new chapter, I’m here to support you. There is hope, and together we can help you move forward. Outside of counseling, I enjoy singing, painting, music, travel, and exploring different cultures, which help keep me grounded and inspired.

I’m a licensed therapist who believes therapy should feel supportive, collaborative, and real. I work with adults navigating anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, life transitions, and self-esteem issues, with a focus on helping you feel more grounded and confident in your day-to-day life. My approach is practical and compassionate—I help you understand patterns, build coping skills, and make changes that fit your life. Most importantly, I aim to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and never judged.
Whether you're navigating a major life change, working through anxiety that feels hard to shake, or taking steps toward recovery, you don't have to do it alone. I work with people who are ready to be honest about where they are, even when that's uncomfortable. My goal is to create a space where you can show up exactly as you are, without fear of judgment, and start building the life you actually want.
Challenges shouldn’t just be endured—they should be the catalyst for your breakthrough. My goal is to help you transform life's toughest hurdles into a foundation for lasting resilience and self-discovery, giving you the tools to reclaim your strength and lead a more intentional life.

Hi, I’m Lauren, an LCSW who provides individual sex therapy for adult women through telehealth. I help women who are struggling with low or absent sexual desire, desire differences within relationships, difficulty with arousal or orgasm, painful sex, sexual shame, and difficulty communicating about sex.
You may love your partner and still wonder, “Why don’t I want sex anymore?” You may feel pressured, disconnected from your body, embarrassed talking about sex, or unsure what you even want sexually. These concerns are more common than many women realize, and therapy offers a private, judgment-free place to understand what may be contributing to them.
My goal is not to tell you how often you should have sex or what your sex life should look like. Instead, we’ll work toward helping you better understand your sexuality, identify your needs, strengthen your sense of choice and agency, and create a sexual life that feels authentic and satisfying to you.
