DBT-certified, trauma-informed therapy — complex trauma, PTSD & BPD therapy for individuals, couples & families.

Hi, I'm Lauren. Whether you're carrying the weight of trauma, depression, anxiety, or just feeling genuinely off — you don't have to navigate it alone, and you don't have to keep holding it together for everyone else. I'm a DBT-certified, trauma-informed LCSW with a PhD, and I work with individuals, couples, and families. My approach is nonjudgmental and built around you — not a checklist. We'll develop a practical toolkit tailored to your real life: setting boundaries without guilt, communicating your needs clearly, and building coping skills that actually hold up under pressure. Whether you're healing a relationship, working through a family crisis, or doing your own deep personal work, I'll meet you exactly where you are — with empathy, consistency, and genuine investment in your progress. Self-exploration is the path to freedom. If you're ready to build something more fulfilling, reach out today.
