LPC & CLINICAL DIRECTOR
Hello, I'm
Lauren
What do you love about therapy?
Counseling is so full of hope and I am honored to bear witness to the change that my clients make. I love the complexity of each unique person and recognize what a gift it is to know someone deeply. My love for counseling has only grown over the years as I developed a specialty of trauma treatment that was born out of my work with children in foster care. I am fascinated with how the brain works to protect us through different traumas and how this impacts our relationship to ourselves and with others.
​
What is your therapeutic style?
I approach my work with compassion, intentionality, and directness. I believe people come to therapy to be challenged and encouraged to make change. I aim to create a secure therapeutic space for you to address challenges and promote mental health. I am a big advocate for "therapy homework" and often collaborate with my clients on unique ways to implement their therapeutic work.
​
What are your specialities?
Trauma informed therapy and EMDR, anxiety, attachment issues, internal family systems (IFS), self-esteem concerns, and relationship challenges.
​
What is your self care?
When I am not wearing my therapist hat, my husband and I spend plenty of time in the mountains skiing, hiking and adventuring. I have a strong connection to my Italian roots and enjoy cooking as a way of self care.
​
What are your rates?
Individual session: $160
Couples session: $180
"My specialty is helping clients heal from traumatic life events through EMDR as well as other treatment modalities."
