Embrace your journey of self discovery, today.
I am so happy you’re here!
My name is Lauren and I am an Associate Professional Clinical Counselor in California dedicated to supporting individuals on their journey towards mental well-being. Having personally navigated through the challenges of anxiety and depression, I understand the transformative power therapy can have firsthand. My experiences have fueled my passion for mental health advocacy, leading me to work as a mental health professional.
I strive to create a safe and affirming space for individuals of diverse identities and diverse experiences. As someone who has personally benefited from therapy, I am dedicated to helping others access the same transformative support. As we collaborate on your therapeutic journey, my goal is to work alongside you on your journey towards creating your most authentic self.
A little about me
When I am not seeing clients, I'm an avid adventurer with an insatiable passion for exploring the world and capturing its beauty through my camera lens. I love to travel around the world, taking my camera with me wherever I go. When I am not traveling, I enjoy spending quality time with my friends, especially if we are crafting or cooking together.
Mental health has always been a passion of mine. I look forward to working with those who are ready to take their next steps in their mental health journey!
