About Lauren
If you’re here, you might be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, exhausted, or simply ready for something to change. My role is to walk alongside you as you reconnect with yourself, understand what’s happening beneath the surface, and learn how to support your own healing in a way that feels safe and empowering.
I’m a Nurse Psychotherapist, and my work is shaped by compassion, curiosity, and a deep respect for the complexities of being human. My path into mental health came through witnessing—both personally and professionally—how emotional struggles impact not only individuals, but families, relationships, and entire stories. Those experiences guide me in showing up with empathy and presence, no matter where you’re beginning.
Together, we’ll explore what you’re carrying—your thoughts, emotions, bodily responses, and the parts of you that have learned to protect and cope. My approach is integrative and trauma-informed, blending CBT, DBT, Somatic-Based Practices, Brainspotting, and Parts Work. What this means for you is that therapy isn’t just about talking — it’s about supporting your whole nervous system and creating change that feels embodied, lasting, and real.
My hope is that our sessions become a place where you feel seen, supported, and safe to grow — where regulation and self-compassion can take root, and where you can slowly move toward a life that feels balanced, authentic, and truly yours.
On a personal note
Proud boy-mom who’s happiest when we're outside exploring — muddy shoes and all. I feel most grounded in nature… give me a forest trail, a lake, or a quiet morning outdoors and I’m in my happy place. Nature is where I reset, recharge, and feel most like myself. Future world traveler in training — my Pinterest boards are ready before my suitcase is. Manifesting my future homestead era — chickens, gardens, and maybe even a couple of goats. We’ll see.
