Hi, I'm Lauren! I enjoy working with women and teens who seek to develop a more positive mindset, enhance personal insight, and to learn to experience relief and joy. I enjoy working with women and teens to empower themselves, set and reach goals, and make changes in their lives. I have experience working in a variety of community settings.
