I'm guessing you landed on this page for a reason. And, the truth is, you've got everything it takes to create the life you deserve. Maybe you just need some inspiration. Or a swift kick in the ass. Or somebody to help you change your thinking. I know I did. If you feel stuck and unfulfilled and wonder why nothing seems to go your way, I can relate. I struggled in every aspect of my life, failing to see the world as a place of abundance. I struggled in my career and in relationships. I struggled to set goals. Many days, I struggled just to get out of bed. Then, I decided I'd had enough. I decided it was time for a change.

I have over 26 years experience in private practice. I have also been a counselor educator for 20 years teaching at the graduate level and providing practicum and internship supervision for students entering the counseling field. I believe the counseling process is all about change, that is, changing current behaviors, thinking patterns, or feelings. Counseling will allow you opportunities to explore areas of concern, while challenging you to think and/or behave in new ways pertaining to the issues in your life. I believe this can be achieved through a balance of guidance, encouragement, support, and feedback.

I believe that our greatest struggles can prove to be our most important teachers, and invitations to connect to our higher selves. Changing our long standing patterns and holding space of our deepest pain can feel daunting and scary to confront on our own. Yet, with support and guidance, you will find change is possible, and there is hope.

Hey there, I’m Lauren and most of my work is done with individuals, couples, and families who are looking to grow to better understand themselves in order to move forward. Most of my clients come to me feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, and disconnected. They want more out of their life but find themselves stuck in the past, isolating from others and unsure of themselves. They crave healthy relationships and they are ready to make a change, but they fear being hurt. They are ready to recover from their past and expand their inner resources. They are ready to discover how they can transform difficulty into growth and vitality.
