Hi. I’m Lauren. I am glad you’re here.

As a dedicated counselor, I am passionate about supporting individuals and couples through various life challenges and transitions. My approach to counseling is rooted in attachment theory and I use an integrative approach, ensuring that each session is tailored to meet the unique needs of my clients. In session, I may incorporate Mindfulness-based and Narrative theories, as well as focus on your inner child through Internal Family Systems approaches.

I earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Lipscomb University. During my internship, I specialized in perinatal mental health, which, through my own experiences as a mother, deepened my passion for supporting this population. As a therapist, I bring warmth and empathy to my practice, believing strongly in the therapeutic relationship between counselor and client. This connection fosters a safe space for self-exploration and growth, allowing clients to feel seen and heard.

In my personal life, I am a mother of two children and have a lively household that includes two dogs and a cat. My experiences as a parent enrich my empathy and understanding, further fueling my dedication to supporting others through their journeys.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending quality time with my family, being on the water, and finding joy in the little moments. I am here to help you navigate your path with understanding and care, creating a collaborative environment where healing and growth are possible.
