My style is person-centered and eclectic, drawing from CBT, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused interventions.
I began my career as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Certified Hypnotherapist (CHT) later in life, and I have great passion for the work I do. I have 10+ years of experience as a therapist for children/teens, adults, and families. I have worked in outpatient, school-based, in-home, and community settings. With younger children and parents, I use the principles of Parent-Child Interactive Therapy, focusing on relationship-building through play. For family therapy, I use a relational approach based on positive communication, mutual respect, and active listening skills. I enjoy guiding my clients toward desired change.

I use a variety of evidence-based approaches that have roots in cognitive behavioral therapy and couple these interventions with humor, compassion, and genuineness.
Adversity is a shared human experience. Sometimes even with your greatest efforts and supports, it feels that no matter what you do, you cannot seem to pass this roadblock in life. As a Licensed Psychologist, I help children, teens, and adults move past this impasse. My goal is to help you develop skills and strategies that you can carry with you throughout your journey. Whether you’re seeking help for you or your child, know that change is possible. While we do not get to choose our problems, we can choose how to respond to them.

CBT ( cognitive behavioral therapy) works well with a host of issues; I give homework so we see results sooner than later.
When our children hurt, we hurt. Teaching young children, adolescents and young adults coping skills that they will use for a lifetime is a wonderful gift for the entire family. Adult women experience a tremendous amount of stress. Habitual behaviors or ways of thinking that served us as children are often of no use and even harmful during adulthood. Feeling better requires challenging these old habits and creating new pathways to suit our current goals.

I utilize a mix of cognitive behavior therapy, mindfulness training, emotional regulation skills, and solution-focused therapy to help you.
Hello! My name is Lauren and I'm so glad you’re here. As a skilled mental health counselor with over 25 years of experience, I enjoy helping teens and adults of all ages manage life’s challenges. It can feel overwhelming managing the day to day of our lives whether it be relationships, parenting, school/work, loss, or change in general. We can be left with anxiety, worry, changing moods, and lack of self-esteem. As Mr. Rogers said, “When we can talk about our feelings, they become less overwhelming, less upsetting and less scary. The people we trust with that important talk can help us know that we are not alone.” I am here to help.

I strive to help people achieve their own goals through an individualized treatment plan that allows the client to fully recognize their own strength and potential, while also developing new perspectives that may help them grow. When appropriate, I find it especially rewarding to assist families in working together to resolve their loved one's challenges and promote long lasting change, well after my services are discontinued. I provide a unique approach to therapy for each client that is in alignment with their current state of motivation. I aim not to be pushy, meet the client where they are, and guide them at their own pace.

Grief is a natural response to death & loss but this feels like a wilderness you have not explored before and you need some guidance. Are you interested in feeling less overwhelmed & more settled?

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists
How does cognitive behavioral therapy work?
Cognitive behavioral therapy works by exploring how your thoughts affect your emotions and experiences. CBT helps you identify distortions in your thinking. For example, you may tend to jump to the worst case scenario catastrophizing or think in extremes (all-or-nothing thinking). A therapist can teach you how to push back against those thoughts to ultimately change your feelings and behavior for the better. They can also provide coping skills to better deal with stressors and challenges.
When do I know to seek treatment with cognitive behavioral therapy?
It’s reasonable to consider cognitive behavioral therapy if you struggle to manage difficult emotions or behaviors to such an extent that you are not getting the most out of life on a day-to-day basis. If you want a shorter term, concrete, skills-based approach, CBT is a great option. (By contrast, other types of therapy may devote more time to exploring your past and its effects.) The decision to seek CBT also depends on the condition you’re treating; CBT is an effective treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma, and many other disorders.
How can I find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else?
To find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else, you may want to begin by discussing the person’s problem, researching cognitive behavioral therapy, and assessing whether the approach is the right fit. You could then reach out to a few cognitive behavioral therapists in this directory, explain the scenario, have a consultation with those available, and determine who could be a good match.
Why is CBT such a popular form of therapy?
CBT has become a popular form of therapy because it is effective and accessible. Robust research has demonstrated that CBT is an effective treatment for many mental health conditions. And CBT can be learned in relatively few sessions, which means that many people can engage in the process, afford it, and see results quickly. It involves learning concrete skills such as disputing unhelpful thoughts; these skills can also be taught and spread widely.
