Hi, I’m Lauren! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 15 years of experience working with youth and families and am absolutely thrilled to be creating a space specifically for youth and families to have the best mental health services and supports in Southern Oregon.

The clinical approaches I utilize are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Trauma Informed Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and Collaborative Problem Solving (CPS). I am a certified Trainer in Collaborative Problem Solving and conduct trainings nationwide in the approach on how to understand and work with challenging youth.

I maintain a small caseload of clients and focus on treating youth with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Phobias, and Anxiety.
