Welcome! My name is Lauren and my passion is helping those who may be struggling. My hope is to gain your trust through building a relationship where you feel connected and supported. In this relationship I work to guide you in finding your true self and meaning.
I specialize in working with teens, young adults, and emerging adults who are navigating anxiety, stress, self-esteem concerns, life transitions, school pressures, family conflict, and relationship challenges. My work is based on an existential/humanistic approach, where I focus on helping individuals find meaning in their life and who they are.
Counseling is a great opportunity for you to build a relationship with an individual who you believe supports and understands you. I hope to build your trust in order to best help you through the struggles you are facing. In building trust, we will develop a relationship where I hope you feel safe to dive deeper into yourself with my guidance
