I’m Lauren

LICENSED MARRIAGE & FAMILY THERAPIST

A person with short curly dark hair, blue eyes, and multiple earrings smiling. They are wearing a rust-colored sweater, white shirt underneath, and beaded bracelets on their left wrist. In the background, there is a plant with large green leaves and a beige lattice or grid pattern.

At the heart of my approach is a recognition of the shared humanity that connects us all. I believe that we’re all doing the best we can with the tools we have—none of us are broken or in need of fixing. We learn to adapt to our environments, experiences, and relationships in ways that help us survive emotionally and make sense of the world. Eventually, these strategies may no longer serve us or fit who we are becoming. Therapy offers a space to explore these patterns together and begin developing new ways of being that support this version of you.
