Hi, I’m Lauren. I’m a Clinical Mental Health Counseling graduate student at the University of Texas at San Antonio, and I believe therapy works best when you feel comfortable enough to be fully yourself.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and down-to-earth. I want you to feel heard without judgment while also having space to better understand yourself, work through difficult emotions, and build tools you can actually use outside of session. I’m especially interested in supporting children, teens, and young adults navigating anxiety, self-esteem, relationship concerns, grief, life transitions, and emotional regulation.

I draw from person-centered, cognitive behavioral, solution-focused, strengths-based, and existential approaches, depending on what feels most helpful for each client. You can come as you are, even if you’re not completely sure where to start.

My goal is to create a space that feels safe, genuine, and encouraging while helping you move toward a life that feels more manageable, meaningful, and true to who you are.
