I am a passionate psychotherapist dedicated to providing neurodiversity-affirming care. As a queer, autistic and ADHD self-advocate, I bring a unique perspective to my practice and take pride in creating a safe and inclusive environment for my clients. My therapeutic approach combines various modalities, including motivational interviewing, trauma-focused CBT, person-centered therapy, and internal family systems. By drawing from these methodologies, I tailor sessions to meet the specific needs of individuals, pre-teens, teenagers, and young adults.

Finding the right help in times of stress, conflict, fear, and emptiness is important, even if it is difficult. Choosing a counselor is about finding someone you feel confident can understand you where you are, and that you trust to help find the path forward. The people I serve value my openness, compassion, curiosity, insight and calm. If you are struggling with trauma, stress, depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, or feeling worthless, then I would like to help you find the pathways to healing that best work for you.

Are you struggling with adjusting to change? Are past traumas keeping you stuck? There are so many changes universally right now and they can be overwhelming. Even adapting to what we are referring to as "normalcy" is different and new. Or, do you have some issues with feeling confident in one or more areas of your life? I get it. Sometimes clients come to me for guidance with their relationships, yet their work situation is mostly satisfying. And still others would like to feel more comfortable in their family role, professional role, or even in their roles in general. Some want to feel at home in their bodies and don't know how.

Hi, my name is Lauren, and I am a clinical intern completing my MSW at UNC on the path to becoming a fully licensed psychotherapist. Before my MSW, I spent over 5 years working in the mental health field and got my B.A. in Psychology. I am offering pro-bono (a.k.a. free) sessions from now through May 2025 for anyone currently feeling stuck, unsatisfied, depressed, or overwhelmed. As a therapist, I approach clients holistically, considering multiple facets of their life. In order to take steps toward what we truly want and see positive changes, we must first understand the problem(s) we are facing and make a plan to address them.

Welcome to my practice...it is not always easy getting to the point of asking for outside help. I recognize and honor the place you are now. It takes courage to look inward and bravery to face what you see. I find if there is a desire and willingness to change, then change will indeed occur. "Life is so beautiful. Life is so hard."-Kate Bowler

You're a caregiver of an autistic child or teen and you're looking for strategies for yourself as well as someone who really "gets" your neurodivergent child. Maybe you need help with communication, toilet training, or managing behavior, perhaps your child is older and you want your child to develop self-advocacy skills, work on executive functioning, and learn coping skills so they can live their best life. Or, you have autism yourself and are looking for a therapist who values your strengths and interests and can help you with setting and achieving goals that are important to you.

Feeling overwhelmed, stressed, and exhausted constantly? Isolated and alone because you don’t want to burden your friends or family with your problems?

Hello! I’ve worked as a licensed counselor since 2017, with previous experience as a social worker. My focus is working with adults who have experienced trauma, anxiety, depressive symptoms, relational difficulties, family issues, substance use, and severe mental illnesses. My theoretical orientation is an integration of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution Focused Behavioral Therapy (SFBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Mindfulness. I have learned that no two people are the same and that everyone must be treated individually and holistically.

What is it that brings vitality? What gets you stuck? Often times we don't realize, we are not taught, that the key to well being is our relationship with self and with what is actually happening, not what we think should happen. As we learn to trust what is arising rather than believe it is bad, and we learn to value and process emotions and experiences, we start to relate to our self and to life differently. Setting limits, bold choices, passion and clarity become more possible and natural. And so we find: our suffering, our symptoms turn out not to be a problem to be fixed, but a gateway to our freedom.
