Lauren is currently working towards her Registered Expressive Arts Therapist (REAT) certification through the International Expressive Arts Therapy Association (IEATA). As a white, pansexual, and neurodivergent provider. I understand that we are all different, and provide a laid back atmosphere.

My focus in sessions is to implement psychotherapy with forms of expressive therapies. What does that look like?. Let’s explore and find out. Everyone is different. There is no right or wrong answer. It is what works for you, and what is healing to you. 

I focus on helping others build an understanding about not only themselves, their identity, their relationships with others, relationships within the family, in their community/environment, etc. I also focus on the relationship you have with your body. I strive to support, encourage, and empower you. Depending on your background, physical environment, social circle, culture, heredity, and experiences. Life can look limited. Let’s continue to stay curious. There are options out there that do align with you and your values. Let’s work together resulting in a healthier and happier you.

Lauren is able to work with psychotherapy clients who are physically residing in the states of California, Indiana and/or Kentucky. Lauren is able to offer Sex Therapy to individuals, regardless of their physical location.
