Lauren was raised on the East Coast where she attended Delaware Valley University for her Bachelors of Arts in Counseling Psychology. After finishing her undergraduate studies, Lauren worked in the field of functional medicine learning about the healing powers of herbal medicine, Ayurveda, energy work, and nutrition, as well as the importance of finding the root cause of illness. Lauren moved to the beautiful Pacific Northwest to pursue her Masters of Arts in Counseling Psychology from Bastyr University which is a unique program with a holistic approach to health and wellness. Throughout this experience, Lauren gained extra training in integrative modalities that are woven into her practice such as breathwork, progressive relaxation techniques, mindfulness, movement, and more.

Lauren works from a biopsychosocial lens in treating the whole person. She is trained in various modalities of therapy. She uses an integrative lens tailoring treatment to each individual and their specific needs. Orientations that align mostly with her philosophy of care include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Family Systems Therapy all through a Client-Centered lens that leads with unconditional positive regard and empathy. In addition, she also treats challenges relating to eating disorders through a Health at Every Size (HAES) approach. She is determined to help others reach a place of empowerment in their lives over their personal health, as well as overall goals and aspirations.

• Anxiety

• Chronic Illness (for both individuals and couples)

• Grief & Loss

Lauren uses “out of the box” techniques such as nature, art, and music as a means for healing and helping others find their unique voice. Her passion for mental health and well-being comes from her personal experience in overcoming chronic health challenges where she saw first-hand how interconnected our bodies and minds are. In her free time, Lauren enjoys playing in nature through swimming, hiking, biking, or just soaking in the sun when it decides to come out!
