I am Dr. Lauren, a Clinical Psychologist licensed in Maryland, Virginia, and Washington DC. Possessing extensive clinical experience in a variety of treatment settings allows my clients to access tailored comprehensive psychological support derived from a culturally diverse and trauma-informed lens. I have in-depth experience and training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma Focused-CBT, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), as well as crisis response and prevention. My clinical abilities are available to individuals, families, groups, and organizations with the goal of strengthening the use of mental health practices.
As the CEO and Founder of Coping Corners, LLC, I specialize in child and adolescent psychology, parent coaching, crisis prevention and response, suicidal ideation, self-injury, trauma, and psychological assessments.
Mental health is important at every stage of life for all individuals, especially given one's personalized experiences of situations and transitions within their environment. Dr. Lauren believes that improving the access to efficient psychological services for personal and professional development is vital to the stabilization of our communities.
