My Approach
I tailor my approach for each individual client, however I particularly enjoy using elements of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and Health At Every Size (HAES).
I also enjoy using exposure therapy when appropriate to the specific client.
I provide a warm, compassionate approach, while helping clients to take concrete steps towards improving their relationship with food, their body, and ultimately themselves.
Additionally, I take a holistic approach to treatment and believe that it's helpful to work as a team i.e. having a doctor, dietitian, psychiatrist etc. depending on the client.
I love doing this work. I feel grateful to be able to help clients to find freedom from eating disorders and anxiety disorders.
*I am taking on a limited number of new therapy clients. If spots are full, I am happy to refer you to another clinician or put you on a wait-list.
**I offer weekend and evening appointments.

"Lauren was an invaluable asset to the behavioral health care team when she worked with me. She supported her clients with genuine empathy and astute clinical skill. Lauren also has a remarkable ability to remain positive and upbeat even when faced with challenging and stressful circumstances. Her personality and well developed skill set were of benefit to both her clients and her colleagues."
