Hello, my name is Lauren and I come with experience in working at various settings such as hospitals, hospice, foster care, and mental health centers in San Diego. I specialize in working with individuals who have experienced specific or prolonged trauma, mental health struggles, navigating healthy relationships, guidance with new medical diagnoses, financial anxiety, military/first responder families and more. I have expertise in educating individuals around death and dying or coping with new diagnoses. I hold experience in crisis intervention through compassionate counseling. My approach is strength-based therapy with a trauma informed lens. We all have a story, and I want to provide a safe and secure space for you to share yours. The mind and the body have an innate connection that craves healing and vitality. I believe mindfulness and self-reflection tools will allow for deep rooted restoration. Are you needing guidance for anything specific, or simply just everyday life stressors or mental health maintenance? Adversity and struggles do not take pause for anyone. Please allow me to guide you to your most fulfilled life and build healthy relationships. Your past does not define you, and we can learn new ways to develop resiliency.
