Therapy can be a compassionate space for insight, personal development, and healing. Each one of us has our own unique history and growth process. My goal is to support your overall mental, emotional, and relational health. I work with a wide range of life experiences including anxiety, self-harming, depression, trauma, and grief. I also specialize in the following experiences: Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD); trauma and PTSD including dissociation, disembodiment, panic, and fear; and unhealthy relationship patterns and coping mechanisms. Together, we work on moving forward to meet your personal needs and therapeutic goals.

Offering virtual sessions in California, Nevada, Oregon, and Utah. Trauma can take its toll; it can even feel unspeakable. If you have survived something that has caused you pain, you deserve to heal and release what has been trapped inside of you, without fear of judgment. There is no "right" or "wrong" way to recover; everyone is unique. All of the "marks" of trauma you notice in yourself hold wisdom to offer, in terms of understanding how you managed to stay alive and survive this whole time. It’s not about looking for “what’s wrong” with you; it’s about understanding what’s happened to you and taking your power back.

Hello and welcome! I am a LCSW who is a holistic multicultural practitioner that specializes in working with individuals who have experienced anxiety, depression, and childhood/adult trauma. I have a broad range of experience working with clients across the life span in the human service field, across the last 15 years. I currently serve clients 18 or older. I understand how difficult opening up can be, and I know that finding the right person to talk with is important.

I work with individuals, couples, and families hoping to heal past trauma, improve communication and find new possibilities. You may be feeling anxious, depressed, and confused about what your next steps in life should be. These feelings may be related to relationship distress, problems in communication with family members, big life changes, or work stress. I work collaboratively with individuals, families and partners who want to foster connection and form deeper, more loving relationships.

"What are you?" was a question I quickly became accustomed to growing up in the Pacific Northwest. With roots in Chamoru, Irish and Armenian heritage, there is no box for me to check. This question has been a lifelong journey in understanding who I am in the context of others, and more importantly how I define myself. I hope to work with others who are embarking on their own cultural journey and are seeking deeper answers to questions about themselves.

Do you have a lot of insight about your trauma that doesn't lead to change? Are you starting to feel frustrated with having the knowledge yet still wrestling with the same triggers and symptoms time and time again? I hope you know that is so normal, especially with trauma. But it doesn't have to be this way. I can help you create more peace in your life and restore your previous functioning. Imagine if you experienced deep relief and didn't have to work so hard anymore - how would your life change? Imagine feeling secure in your relationships, calm in the face of previous triggers, and doing what you want with your life.

Welcome! My name is Lauren. I am a Marriage and Family Therapist Associate who provides integrative telemental health care to Oregon residents.

I primarily work with young adults on an individual basis and have experience with a wide range of issues including depression, anxiety, severe and persistent mental illness, self-esteem, interpersonal issues, trauma, identity issues, spiritual and existential concerns, life transition, and other emotional wellness concerns. I am currently only providing services via telehealth / secure online video chat. For Oregon clients, at this time I am only accepting Moda insurance or private pay.

Currently FULL. Waitlist available. My style of therapy is very individualized. I acknowledged the broad range of backgrounds and experiences that shape who and why we are the way we are. My goal is to create an environment that fosters safety and collaboration, encouraging you to be able to show up as your authentic self (and at times figuring out who that is). Working together you can expect to gain a deeper understanding of the neuroscience behind your thoughts/reactions/areas of difficulty, awareness into your mind, body, and soul, and take away tools, strategies, and techniques for addressing the areas of change you desire.

I specialize in helping adult men with trauma and PTSD overcome patterns that keep them feeling stuck so they can experience greater satisfaction in their lives and relationships. Trauma affects everyone differently, but social stigma and expectations for men to be unemotional and strong often lead to feelings of weakness that prevent men from seeking help when needed. Men sometimes externalize symptoms with substance use, anger, relationship conflict, social isolation, and workaholism. My goal is creating a safe space for you to address these patterns and move toward a greater sense of control, connectedness, and wellbeing.

I trust that whatever appears in the mind, body, and emotions has its purpose and wants to be deeply heard, honored, understood, and embraced; that all the Psyche expresses are attempts toward our wholeness and realizing the jewel of our Essential Being. With this compassion and care, healing can unfold, patterns and beliefs transformed, and we can live our true potential and purpose, innate wisdom, and experience happiness, peace, and joy.

Possibilities. Isn’t that what every good fairy tale is made of? Inviting you to imagine the impossible. The truth about personal change is that it requires you to participate in making it happen. With over 30 years of experience, I am passionate about helping others find their own possibilities and providing them the skills to begin making changes in their lives to Move Forward.

I offer therapy services for individuals, couples, and families, and see clients between the ages of 14 and 40 years old. I approach counseling through the understanding that individuals are a product of their environmental contexts and may equally influence those contexts. I also believe that we do not exist in a stagnant and unchanging world, and are continuously evolving as individuals, which shapes my scope of practice. I focus on working with clients towards empowerment and identifying behavioral, cognitive, and emotional patterns that may no longer serve their best interests.

Together we can co-create a safe space of curiosity and self-compassion. Here, we find opportunities to identify and understand the origins of and what triggers the patterns, beliefs, thoughts, and behaviors that don’t serve you. I am inspired by our inherent connectedness and its profound power to make individual, familial, communal, societal, and earthly changes towards a world with a lot more love and belonging. I am honored to hold this collaborative space for adults of all ethnicities/races, genders, sexual orientations, shapes and sizes, abilities, nationalities, and occupations.

I believe that recovery is a process which requires active, continuous involvement from the client, the therapist, and the entire treatment team. According to this belief, the four stages of recovery are hope, empowerment, self-responsibility, and establishing a meaningful role in life. The individual most responsible for a successful treatment outcome is you (the client). With your consistent effort and willingness to engage with your therapist the kind of change you are hoping for can and will occur.

Often by the time an individual is entering my office, they have become bogged down and overwhelmed by stress in their life. It is my goal to help quiet the mind (and the busy, stressful world) enough to get in touch with the heart and find true healing. I am a down-to-earth therapist - essentially just another being walking this path of life and trying to find fulfillment in it. I deeply value the time spent with clients as they navigate their lives, figuring out their stressors and their innermost needs that are not being addressed & being with folks as they seek a more centered, authentic and empowered life.
