More about Lauren

While I specialize in working with first responders, I enjoy treating diverse populations and have 15+ years of experience in community mental health. I primarily work from a trauma-informed approach to help clients understand how thoughts fundamentally shape their emotions, behavioral patterns, and responses to life’s challenges. As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and National Board Certified Counselor (NCC), I incorporate skills and practice into the therapy process. Using a personalized treatment plan, I help clients build distress tolerance, tackle avoidance, and reframe toxic thoughts.
