As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I have experience (and enjoy!) working with clients of all ages. I regularly work with children as young as 4, adolescents, college-age clients, and adults alike. I am equipped to help clients who are experiencing symptoms related to depression, anxiety, anger, ADHD, self-esteem, body image, eating habits/behaviors, divorce, substance abuse, suicidal ideation, relationships, behavioral concerns, sexuality and gender exploration (LGBTQIA+), academic or school issues, and phase of life adjustment or transitions.

People seek out therapy for a variety of reasons, such as to address an already identified concern, to develop a particular coping skill set, or to enhance self-confidence and quality of life. I work to establish a trusting therapeutic relationship within which a client can share their unique story with a felt sense of validation, empathy, and hope. I work collaboratively with clients as we bare witness to the client's lived experiences looking through a lens of compassionate curiosity and establishing empowered self-agency that leads to patterns of intentional action and overall well-being.

An ideal client would present with their struggle in transparency, with the desire to grow, and put in the work to achieve goals. That could be managing emotions, holding a job, rebuilding relationships, or perhaps implementing more self-care. A client who wants to heal, find peace, and promote balance and autonomy. I am very easygoing, and really like to showcase my ability to promote a safe trusting environment. It is okay to feel uncomfortable or overwhelmed in life; I hope to encourage and normalize the need to take care of ourselves.

Appointments Available! Hello! My name is Lauren and I am so glad you’re here. As a skilled mental health counselor with over 25 years of experience, I enjoy helping teens and young adults, ages 13-26, manage life’s challenges. This time in one’s life is filled with transition, identity development, and emerging independence, and these changes can often create anxiety, worry, changing moods, and lack of self-esteem. In addition to the normative developmental changes, young people today face ever-evolving challenges in the age of social media, societal unrest & uncertainty, and significant pressure to experience success.

Counseling can be helpful when someone needs an objective person to listen, when their normal ways of coping no longer are working, or when they simply are feeling overwhelmed & hopeless. I work with people in a supportive & non-judgmental setting to explore their thoughts, feelings & relationships & in what areas they may be struggling. Together we identify one's strengths & find new, healthier, ways of thinking & behaving & outline a plan for initiating positive change in their lives. Through this supportive therapeutic relationship, we work toward sustained improvement in their everyday functioning.

Do you find yourself having the same fights over and over again? Do you feel alone in your relationship? Are you experiencing a major life transition, crisis or loss, or simply feel that there is something missing in your life? I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist (MFT) with over 15 years of experience working with individuals, couples and families. MFTs are relationship specialists trained to assess and treat individuals, couples and families to achieve more satisfying relationships in their personal and work life as well as their general social functioning.

Preparing to begin therapy often times takes motivation, courage and the desire to change and grow. My approach to therapy is one of mutual respect and collaboration. I want to help my clients face their struggles head on and to develop strategies to make life more manageable and satisfying. Over the years that I have been practicing, I have seen so many people work through challenges to achieve a life that they are proud to be living.

Currently only accepting EMDR/Brainspotting Intensives which is 3-6 hours per day. and an out of pocket expense. My approach is holistic, with an awareness of cultural and systemic impacts on mental health. My goal in treatment is to help individuals find more effective ways to live healthier, happier, and more successful lives. What this looks like for each person depends on individualized treatment goals. I tailor my treatment approach to the unique needs and strengths of each person. Among my specialties is the treatment of anxiety, trauma, self-esteem, interpersonal relationships, depression, performance improvement etc…

An ideal client for me is someone who has difficulty managing their emotions, engages in frequent negative thinking, and has trouble communicating their needs with family and friends. They want to decrease their anxious or depressive behaviors but have little knowledge of how to begin regulating their emotions.

I work with men and women who struggle with anger, bitterness, and/or resentment. These issues have caused them to damage many of their relationships. If you want to change and work toward healing yourself and those you hurt, I can help with the process.

My specialties are in the areas of depression, anxiety, college student's needs, parenting, relationships, adjustment and life transitions. My therapeutic approach is informed by a Psychodynamic foundation along with family systems theory, developmental theory, attachment theory, interpersonal theory, and cognitive behavioral theories, but I also utilize strategies and techniques from other frameworks to meet the needs of the individual.

Are you tired of struggling to make it through the day? Feel like you've had the wind knocked out of you by an overwhelming situation? Is your relationship stuck in a painful rut? Have you lost your joy to feelings of emptiness, loss, or fear? Do you wish that just one person could understand what you're going through? I help people like you find their way through overwhelming situations: troubled or broken relationships, anxiety, and depression. You don't have to find your way alone; I can help you find healing and get your joy back.

I work extensively with couples, groups, and individuals. I honor the courage and vulnerability it takes to ask for help, to heal our wounds, and to embrace the messiness of our internal and external lives. Whether you are a couple seeking support in improving communication, intimacy, and connection, or an individual wanting to gain greater insight into the origins of your concerns and relieve distress, I am here to help. Therapy is the best gift you can give to yourself and your relationships, and my hope is that you will feel more empowered in your life to make choices and live life more aligned with your authentic self.

What are you looking for in therapy? I aim to assist you answering this question in a calm and encouraging environment where your concerns and hopes are heard and valued and where we can work together for you to achieve this purpose. I will ask you guiding questions to encourage deeper curiosity and care for yourself, and together we will explore answers that will help you create goals to support the change you need. I work with individuals, couples or families facing emotional pain, anxiety, depression, anger, couples issues, addiction, etc. and I assist their making discoveries that can help them create change.

People create knowledge in relationships. We NEED other minds to hone impressions into skills. We need explicit communication: this is HOW to create knowledge. The risks of self-disclosure are offset with great attendance, courage & proactive participation. It is HOW not WHAT problem is raised that yields solutions. Emotions are priceless data delivery systems; respected, examined & honored. Honest, caring connection buffer high-risk daring sharing. Problems are commonplace, unlike problem solving. Doing things differently creates different outcomes. At OATS YOU will build performance strength or you will be gone. It is up to you.

Clients come to me after experiencing a loss whether it be from the death of a loved one, the end of a marriage/significant relationship or a major life transition. These changes in one's life can bring on feelings of sadness, isolation and fear. As a therapist I believe in the power of telling one's story in a safe and supportive space. My goal is to help clients expand the possibilities when feeling stuck, access their strengths, accept their limitations and practice being present in their daily lives.

I strive to meet my clients where they are and help to guide them to a place where they feel they are able to thrive. I specialize with teens and student athletes navigating difficult transitions, with sports, school or family. I also have experience working with adults having challenges with life transitions.

Are your relationships strained or disappointing? Is it difficult to manage your thoughts, feelings, or behaviors? Do you feel stuck, worry, feel sad, or have thoughts that you’re not good enough? Whatever you are struggling with, you do not need to suffer alone. We can work together to change things that are not working for you. I provide a supportive, accepting, judgment-free space where you can heal and grow. Therapy makes change possible and facilitates deeply meaningful growth so that you may experience greater joy, have more fulfilling relationships, be more productive, and feel more satisfied.
