If you are struggling with an eating disorder, trauma, or simply feel stuck, you don’t have to navigate this alone. I offer a warm, individualized approach to help you feel better, understand yourself more deeply, and move toward lasting change. I believe there is no “one-size-fits all” approach and together we will find what works best for you.
I have extensive experience treating eating disorders and trauma and was among the first psychotherapists to incorporate expressive arts and EMDR into eating disorder treatment. Your therapy may include traditional psychotherapy, EMDR, art therapy, or journaling. I am also the author of The Slender Trap, an eating disorder workbook available on Amazon.
If you think we might be a good fit, give me a call or press the email button on this page. While many of my clients are young women or middle-age women, I see people of all ages who are anywhere in Pennsylvania, including therapists themselves. I look forward to meeting you!

Lauren is the best therapist I've ever worked with. She masterfully helped uncover traumatic patterns and brought real resolution and change. Some therapy changes a person's perspective but Lauren truly changes lives. I feel blessed to have worked with her
