Do you feel like you’re on high alert all of the time—constantly walking on eggshells, worrying about what could happen and on the lookout for danger? Are you consumed with incessant, looping thoughts that make it difficult to focus on tasks at hand and be present with the people around you? Perhaps you engage in perfectionistic thinking and are overly hard on yourself, always second guessing your decisions, stressing about making a mistake and thinking you could have done something better. Welcome to my profile, and approach: with Mindfulness informed choices, we can transform our lives into ones of meaning, reducing our suffering.

Stress. Anxiety. Trauma. Challenges like this can make life hard. You're agitated easy, your relationships and work suffer, and as time goes on- health declines. Sleep becomes priceless. As a busy professional, it’s important that you have the tools to feel better and be better. As a psychologist and MBA who's worked in fast paced environments - I get it! During our work together, you will learn tools and skills to manage life. There is no need to suffer. Let's process what's causing the symptoms by getting to the root of the problem. To heal, we use evidence based treatments -including EMDR.

Have you ever noticed that the same themes keep coming up, preventing you from living the life you want to live. Perhaps you feel stuck and need guidance to break free from your limiting cycle. As a therapist, my greatest reward is helping my clients make connections and insights that cultivate lasting change and foster strong relationships. I offer my clients a professional atmosphere that includes compassion and insight guiding my clients to make meaningful connections. As one client stated "Lauren possesses a unique quality to be able to guided our therapy so that every session was important and productive."

An intervention is not about how to control your loved one with a substance use or mental disorder; it is about learning how to let go of believing you can. A person enables for various reasons, often having little to do with someone suffering from a substance use or mental disorder. Most people understand that enabling a loved one with a mental disorder or to use substances often removes their ability to face the consequences, see the need for change, and advocate for their own care. The question is not about what the enabling provides for the substance user but more what it provides to the enabler.

Please note: I am unable to accept new client at this time. I have had the gift of working with individuals facing challenges such as chronic medical illness, terminal illness, anxiety and depression. I believe in providing you with the insight and tools to enhance your ability to cope with the roller coaster of life. I have extensive experience working with individuals coping with chronic medical illness and caregiver stress/burnout.

What is your view of aging? Do you see yourself older or younger than you feel? Is growing older merely a number or attitude? Do you wonder, "what have I done with my life?" A positive outlook can enhance the quality of life but sometimes that is just not enough. Growing older presents many challenges: physically, mentally, spiritually, emotionally and cognitively. An integrated approach to improving quality of life is our approach. With you, we can address concerns about facing loss, changing relationships, dealing with adult sons and daughters, and/or reviewing life events that have affected your current mood and emotions.

Effective therapy can change everything. Through effective cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) and EMDR we work together to change your mind to change your life. I also offer groups that provide education about weight gain, mental health, and solutions to finding your own unique fitness program. I believe in strong, effective therapy. No one should live with anxiety, depression, unhealthy coping skills, or prolonged difficulties in the aftermath of trauma. I have had success working with weight loss issues, severe trauma, PTSD, gender transition, depression, anxiety, and relationship issues. We work together to find solutions.

My training and professional experience has been with clients of all ages. I work primarily as a cognitive/behavioral therapist. This means that I am practical, goal oriented, and that the work is research based. I have special training in clinical hypnosis, EFT, guided imagery and meditation, as well as yoga. I often blend cognitive work with other modalities. I give specific recommendations and frequently assign "homework". I believe people who are motivated can make tremendous changes. I feel priviledged and honored to work with clients who are facing tough life challenges. I love my work!

Do you frequently feel overwhelmed, frustrated and unsatisfied? Do you find that your relationships are suffering? People are often faced with stressors related to parenting, marriage, loss and emotional overload. I understand that these things are difficult to face alone. I help people to implement practical strategies so they will start living a more satisfied life. During therapy you can expect to be validated and empowered. My goal is that everyone feels safe and encouraged. I am committed to helping you create strong and healthy relationships so that you can start living a better life.

Feeling depressed, anxious, or "stuck" in a certain pattern of thoughts and behaviors that you find troubling or worrisome? I believe change is possible with a supportive working alliance to create new ways of coping and thinking to manage the stress in your life. I offer a safe, warm, yet challenging environment to help heal from the past and transition to the future. Psychotherapy enables people to overcome negative, repetitive patterns and make meaningful changes in their lives. I help people become better versions of themselves.
