Great to meet you!

I'm so glad you're here!

I'm Lauren, a licensed clinical social worker with over 10 years experience working with teens and adults. I love helping clients better understand themselves, navigate life's challenges, and recognize strengths they may not have seen in themselves before. I work primarily with teens and adults with anxiety, depression, and ADHD.

My approach to therapy

I believe that therapy should be collaborative. My job is to create a space where you feel understood and accepted while supporting you to meet your goals. I often work with clients who experience perfectionism, burn out, relationship challenges, or may need support navigating change or transition in their life.

What you can expect from me

Our first session will be us getting to know each other. I usually start with asking you what brings you to therapy and if therapy is successful what would be different in your life. We will work together to decide what your goals will be and start to create a plan to achieve it. I will regularly check in to see if we are still on the right track!
