Hi, I'm Lauren and I love helping clients discover strengths to overcome situations and learn new ways to cope with tough situations. I believe anyone can overcome their challenges, and I can help you along that journey.
I am a graduate of Indiana Wesleyan University with a Masters in Social Work. I have a Bachelors in Social Work from Indiana University Northwest, and an Associate Degree/Addictions Studies Certificate from Ivy Tech. I really enjoy working with clients of all ages and have worked with children as young as 3. I look forward to working with you in the future.
I like using strength based techniques with my clients along with Acceptance and Commitment therapy techniques. I love helping clients discover strengths to overcome difficulties and learn new ways to cope with tough situations. I believe anyone can overcome their challenges in a warm, welcoming, supportive environment. I am here for you and your journey.
