Lauren is a licensed counselor who is passionate about helping individuals, couples and families find their way back to one another. Lauren specifically enjoys working with veterans, spouses of veterans, and first responders. Whether navigating conflict, rebuilding trust, or deepening emotional connection, Lauren helps clients better understand themselves and their relationships so they can move toward greater closeness, understanding, and lasting change.

Lauren’s approach is grounded in attachment theory and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), with an emphasis on understanding the relational patterns that often leave people feeling disconnected from those they love. She also incorporates Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help clients explore their inner experiences with curiosity and compassion, alongside practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Somatic therapy to support growth beyond the therapy room.

Her style is warm, collaborative, and authentic. Lauren strives to create a space where clients feel safe to speak openly, explore difficult emotions, and work through challenges without judgment. Together, she and her clients identify what is no longer working and develop meaningful, practical steps toward healthier relationships and a more fulfilling life.

Beginning therapy does not require having all the answers. Lauren views the first session as an opportunity to connect, hear each client’s story, understand what has brought them to therapy, and explore what they hope to change. From there, she works collaboratively with clients to develop a clear, individualized path forward.

Lauren’s goal is for every client to feel heard, understood, and supported, leaving sessions with a greater sense of hope and a plan for moving toward meaningful change—together.
