Do you keep it together on the outside while quietly running on empty inside? You're high-functioning, capable, and by most measures doing fine — but underneath that, something feels stuck. Maybe it's anxiety that won't quit, a pattern you can't shake, or the creeping sense that you've been holding it all together for so long you've forgotten what it feels like not to. I work with high-achieving adults — especially women — who are done white-knuckling through life and ready to stop managing their symptoms and start actually healing at the root.

I offer attachment-focused EMDR, an evidence-based modality for the treatment of complex trauma. EMDR can efficiently target debilitating psychological and physiological symptoms. Clients also tend to emerge from this process with markedly improved self-esteem, a personalized mental health “toolkit”, and a revised, empowering life narrative.

I am credentialed with Cigna, Aetna, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Medicaid, United Healthcare, and UCare.
I became a therapist because I believe that therapy is for guys too. Maybe you're worried about how your kid is going to grow up if they can't succeed in school, or get their emotions under control; it's really hard to parent alone. As an adult, maybe someone is telling you to get your emotions under control, or maybe you just don't have the confidence that you think you should have at your age. Male loneliness has now reached new heights. I am here to tell you that it doesn't have to be this way.

Hello! I’m Lauren. At heart, I’m a listener who loves learning about people through their own words. I am curious about your life experience, what motivates you and what challenges you are facing. I have a Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy and work with individuals, couples and families as they explore themselves and the relational dynamics that shape their lives. Before becoming a therapist, I spent 12 years as a registered nurse, including many years in the Pediatric ICU. Witnessing the impact of medical trauma on patients, families, and healthcare workers inspired me to support others on their healing journeys in a new way.

Whether clients are looking for support and encouragement to maximize strengths or need assistance in dealing with a wide variety of psychological issues, effective therapy begins with the formation of a relationship. I place an emphasis on meeting patients where they are, which includes taking into account environmental factors, culture, ethnicity, and family/interpersonal history. Then, collaborating together to understand goals, assets, and challenges in order to create a plan to solve problems and increase understanding. By integrating various theoretical approaches and utilizing current research from psychology and neuroscience, my goal is to provide effective individualized treatment.

You’re the one who keeps it together for everyone else but inside, you’re anxious, overwhelmed, or carrying experiences that still feel unresolved.

We are created for connection. All of us are searching for meaning, purpose and belonging. We are made to be in relationships with each other. Our relationships provide an opportunity for life's greatest joy and greatest heartache. All of us experience the brokenness of our world and fall short of relational wholeness. Each of us a unique combination of biology and experience, which results in unique challenges, vulnerabilities, strengths, and hopes. I believe everyone has the insight, ability, and potential to thrive in our human experience and sustain a meaningful life.
