I am passionate about helping adolescents, individuals, families, and couples navigate challenges related to identity, relationships, and emotional regulation. I specialize in family dynamics, couples issues, and supporting survivors of narcissistic abuse. Having grown up with a narcissistic figure, I understand how these relationships can leave you questioning your reality and self-worth. I believe everyone can benefit from therapy at some point in their lives. In our work, we will rebuild your confidence, help you trust yourself again, and make sense of your experiences, including learning to “grey rock” to protect your peace.

Have you ever felt like your mind knows you’re safe, but your body hasn't received the message yet? True, lasting change happens when we move beyond just talking and begin to listen to the language of your nervous system.
As an EMDR Consultant, I’ve seen how traditional talk therapy can sometimes feel like running in circles. You might understand why you feel the way you do, but the heavy weight of the past still feels physically present. My approach is different: I integrate EMDR and Natural Processing to help you gently bridge that gap between your thoughts and your physical sense of peace.

Hi! I’m Lauren. I’ve been practicing therapy for over 14 years and I am so grateful for the opportunity to work with so many amazing clients. Seeing the growth and awareness that happens in this process is truly remarkable and rewarding for everyone involved. My clients most often come to therapy repeating patterns that they realize are no longer working for them. Both individually and in relationships. My job is to help you identify patterns, to better understand yourself and to give you ways to adjust while staying true to who you are. There are a variety of ways to do this, and each session is geared exactly to your needs.

Reaching out for support often begins with a quiet sense that something needs to change. Something in your life may feel off even if you can’t quite name it yet. Maybe you’re stuck in a pattern that is no longer serving you, or you may be stepping into a new season of life-one that’s prompting you to reconsider who you are as you become a parent, face infertility, a major illness, grieve a loss, or adjust to a life change that’s left you feeling unsteady. Perhaps you’ve been managing on your own for a long time, unsure of where to set it all down.

“The most important step one can take. It's not the first one, is it?
It's the next one. Always the next step.” - Brandon Sanderson
Therapy is challenging and vulnerable work. In my office comfort and safety are high priorities to create a space where folks can bring their honest burdens to a productive space. I also value my clients walking away from therapy with a much greater understanding of their internal experience, and a broad toolkit they can continue using long after we've completed therapy.

Worry, sadness, and uncertainty are all normal responses to feeling that parts of your life are out of your control. Regaining peace of mind with anxiety, depression, or stress often feels like it means giving up something else: time with family or friends, hobbies, or last night's sleep. While dark humor, caffeine, and willpower may get you far, you don't have to navigate these challenges alone. I work with individuals looking to reclaim a sense of balance while coping with internal struggles and external pressures while fostering resilience and self-compassion.

FAQ - About Therapy for Seniors
Is one ever too old for mental health therapy?
Individuals of all ages can benefit from mental health therapy. Indeed, older adults in particular may benefit from the social and psychological support a therapist can provide; the topics that older adults address in therapy may simply differ from those of younger clients. Seniors should seek out a therapist who has experience working with older individuals and who is well-versed in addressing common concerns among elderly individuals, such as depression, anxiety, loneliness, and physical mobility challenges.
How is counseling for seniors and the elderly different from counseling for other age groups?
In general, counseling offers an opportunity for clients to process difficult life events and develop coping skills they can use outside of the therapy session. Therapists who specialize in working with elderly clients generally have the same framework but may place a special emphasis on specific topics, such as caregiver relationships and reducing loneliness. They may be specially equipped to deal with certain physical conditions or facilitate discussion surrounding end-of-life topics. Counseling for the elderly may also place a greater emphasis on social work-type topics to ensure that geriatric clients have access to necessary resources, such as food, a safe home environment, and healthcare.
How can therapy improve the quality of life of aging individuals?
Therapy for aging adults can greatly improve quality of life by providing an opportunity for them to process difficult emotions related to end-of-life, navigate relational or caregiver challenges, and develop coping skills for common mental health conditions, like anxiety or depression. Subsequent reductions in negative emotions and mental health disorder symptoms can make day-to-day living much more manageable for aging adults and those that care for them. The ongoing relationship with a trusted therapist can also help seniors combat loneliness and provide a sense of structure for their routine.
What are the qualities to look for in therapists who see seniors?
Seniors counselors, like mental health counselors in general, should be kind, empathetic, skilled at listening, and knowledgeable about their particular area of expertise. Counselors specializing in working with the senior population should be very familiar with the aging process in general and the common conditions that the elderly can face, such as dementia, depression, loneliness, and/or physical illness. Many senior counselors are also well-equipped to help caregivers and families navigate the aging process of their loved ones, and they may draw on Interpersonal Therapy to help facilitate improved interactions between seniors and those that care for them.
