Lauryn is a great therapist. She has helped me work through a multitude of things in my life, from detecting and dealing with emotions, to being more in the present through mindfulness, to making goals and staying on track. I couldn't have asked for anyone better to show me what therapy should look like. Thank you Lauryn for all your help over these last few months, they have completely transformed the trajectory of my life and well-being.

These are words I actually told my therapist in my session. And I totally mean them. “Ughhh I always feel so much better after taking to you! You always say the things that help motivate me so much. It’s exciting ever time because I feel like I’m so much better equipped to handle the issues.” I can’t say enough good things. She helps me find the deeper reason why and it’s like a domino effect that explains and helps so many other things.

Lauryn is incredible. We’ve been working together for the past few months and she helped me tackle my anxiety/depression head on. She heard my concerns and offered me tangible ways to cope with my anxiety. She was there to listen and hold space for me when I felt alone. She gave me so many tidbits of wisdom in every session that will forever stick with me. If you need someone to encourage you, support you, and hold space for you, Lauryn is your girl.
