looking for real change? Let’s make it happen.
MEET Lauren, LPC IN AUSTIN, TX
Let me guess:
You’re looking for real help, not just quick fixes.
You’re exhausted from feeling stuck—overwhelmed by anxiety, weighed down by past wounds, or constantly battling the feeling that you’re not enough. You’ve tried to push through, to manage on your own, but it’s draining. You know something needs to change.
I know that feeling because I’ve been there too. I know what it’s like to carry the weight of unresolved pain and to constantly, anxiously wonder if things will ever feel different. With that being said I also know the power of therapy—not just as a professional, but as someone who has experienced firsthand what it means to be seen, heard, and supported in a way that sparks real change.
Deep down, you crave more than just getting by. You want to feel lighter, more confident, and at peace with yourself and your relationships. You’re ready to heal. You’re ready to step into a life that feels whole, meaningful, and truly yours.
That’s why I do this work. I believe in therapy, not just as a profession, but as a profoundly human experience—one that has the power to shift the way you see yourself and the world around you. Healing happens in connection, and you don’t have to do this alone anymore. I would be honored to walk alongside you, helping you rediscover hope and guiding you toward a life where you feel alive again.
you’re in the right spot.
How I work
Healing isn’t one-size-fits-all—it’s deeply personal, and I believe in meeting you where you are.
My approach is holistic, honoring the connection between mind, body, spirit and soul. You are more than just a set of symptoms (I take a non-pathologizing approach as well); you are a whole person with a unique story, and therapy should reflect that.
Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, or the weight of past trauma, we’ll work together to create meaningful, lasting change in every part of your life. My goal is to provide a safe, compassionate space where you feel truly seen and heard—a place where you can explore your emotions, make sense of your experiences, and take practical steps toward healing.
Clients often describe me as warm, approachable, and deeply attuned to their needs. I listen not just to your words, but to the emotions and experiences behind them. Therapy with me is not about “fixing” you—because what you’re feeling is totally normal for what you’ve experienced. It’s about helping you reconnect with yourself, processing what’s been weighing you down, and moving toward a life that feels more peaceful, purposeful, and fulfilling.
I integrate evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Existential Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and trauma-informed techniques. For those who seek it, I also offer a faith-based perspective, weaving spiritual insight into the therapeutic process in a way that aligns with your personal beliefs.
Together, we’ll find an approach that feels right for you—one that fosters healing, self-discovery, and the connection you’ve been searching for.
Authenticity
I believe that real healing begins with real connection. I show up as my genuine self and create a space where you feel safe to do the same. In therapy, you don’t have to filter your thoughts or emotions—this is a place for honesty, growth, and being truly seen.
My core values
GROWTH
Healing isn’t about staying stuck in the past—it’s about learning, evolving, and moving forward. I help you navigate challenges with clarity and confidence.
compassion
You are more than your struggles. I meet you with understanding and care, helping you work through life’s challenges with patience and support.
connection
Healing doesn’t happen in isolation. Meaningful change comes through feeling heard, understood, and supported. I prioritize building a genuine, trusting relationship where you feel safe to explore your thoughts, emotions, and challenges without judgment.
Honesty
Real healing starts with real conversations. I believe in creating a space where you can be open about your struggles without fear of judgment. I show up authentically, and I encourage you to do the same.
Safety
Therapy should feel like a refuge. I provide a non-judgmental, supportive space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions at your own pace.
in therapy with me…
We’ll dig deep.
Together, we’ll explore the patterns, beliefs, and experiences shaping your thoughts and emotions. This is a space to uncover the roots of what’s holding you back and find healing for old wounds. Whether it’s unpacking past trauma or navigating present struggles, we’ll work to understand and process the deeper layers of your story so you can move forward with clarity and confidence.
You’re in charge.
This is your journey, and you set the pace. My role is to guide and support you, but you decide what feels right, what to explore, and when to dive in. Therapy is a partnership, and your voice is the most important one in the room. We’ll create a space where you feel safe, respected, and empowered to take the lead in your healing.
I’ll cheer you on.
Every step you take, big or small, is worth celebrating. I’ll be here to remind you of your progress, your strengths, and the resilience you carry. When things feel tough, I’ll encourage you to keep going, and when you succeed, I’ll celebrate with you. You’re not alone in this process—I’m here to walk alongside you and help you see the hope and possibilities ahead.
“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.”
