A message from Lauren: I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida with over 14 years of experience. My graduate degree is in Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling from the University of South Florida (CACREP and CORE dual accredited). Additionally, I hold a graduate certificate in Integrative Health, which supports spiritual wellness and mental health. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including alcoholism/addiction, depression, anxiety, stress management, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD, and ADHD. I also counsel many people who have chronic illness or disability, experienced physical trauma, domestic violence, or emotional/psychological abuse. I have provided extensive amounts of therapy surrounding various challenges associated with Covid-19. If SCoV2 therapeutic intervention is what you are seeking, please know you are safe and validated here.

My counseling style is holistic, intuitive, and interactive. My approach to therapy is personalized for each client. Together we will explore theoretical options and combine aspects from multiple approaches to create a winning combination for you. I especially enjoy interventions that are creative and that delve below the surface, such as Internal Family Systems, Narrative Therapy, and Existential Therapy. Let reality be exactly what it is – your property to build your best truth!

Therapy is one of life’s most thrilling adventures. Courageous people seek out healing and self-awareness. Every person who enters therapy and then continually engages with their therapist is fundamentally remarkable. To know thyself is to learn thyself. You are worthy of serenity, peace, freedom, and love. I can’t wait to begin our adventure together!

Lauren goes above and beyond to connect with her patients. I feel extremely seen, even when I don’t necessarily make myself visible. I’m grateful for my experiences with Lauren and look forward to more. Intuitive therapy is mind boggling, but it’s the first one that’s offered me something real.

I am so grateful to have found Lauren. My previous therapy experiences felt like bandaid solutions. Instead of providing more bandaids, Lauren has helped me dive deep into my thoughts and underlying feelings to get to the core of the issues that are holding me back. And more importantly, I am recognizing my self worth in a way that I’m not sure I ever have before. I’ve had revelation after revelation during session with Lauren, and each one has led to a seemingly effortless change in how I carry myself and feel about myself. I still have work to do, but as I become more empowered each issue feels more like a little speed bump in the road, instead of a major roadblock. Thank you Lauren for guiding me through!

My experience working with Lauren has been transformational. She has enabled me to understand things about myself that I was never able to get a hold on and has helped me understand issues that have been holding me back but that were buried so deep, I didn’t realize were there. Through my work with her, I am experiencing changes to my outlook and attitude that I didn’t think were possible. Lauren is someone I know I can trust and who makes me feel at ease in a way that allows us to dig deep in our sessions. I highly recommend her!

From the very first session, she understood me and I felt comfortable enough to open up right away. It’s hard for me to trust people but I knew instantly there was nothing to hide from or be ashamed about when in session. So glad I found her!

I can honestly say I was lead (meant to be) put with Lauren as my therapist. This was a big step for me. She has listened to me and put forth ideas and truths that I have not even recognized or considered as how to handle family conflicts. I must say that this latest session was life changing and powerful in helping me to see my role as a mother and leader in my family. I am thankful to God for leading me to Lauren and her knowledge and genuine ability to help me understand my worth and ability to trust and have faith and courage to change generational problems. To change the cycle. Thank you so much.❤️

Lauren is incredible, she knows exactly what you need even if you don’t even know you needed it, makes you understand things you didn’t know you could, and gets you in and out of your head. And she does it all with so much love. I’ve never had a therapist really challenge me the way Lauren does and it’s amazing how that makes it feel like I’m making actual progress this time!

I have enjoyed every therapy session with Lauren. She helped me see the truth in many situations in my life. She helped me see my true worth and potential, but also the hard truths about the trauma that I have been through.

She is helpful, honest, and easy to talk to.

Lauren was pretty intense but in a good way. I can honestly say I did not expect my first session to turn out the way it did. We went into past trauma that I didn’t even realize was trauma. I’m not sure how I feel about everything but I can say I have a lot to reflect on and I feel seen and heard.
