About Me

Hi, I’m Lauren! It’s nice to meet you.

I have a master’s degree from The University of Chicago and have extensive experience across multiple treatment settings including schools, partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient programs, and private practice. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Illinois and offer individual therapy for children, adolescents, and adults, as well as parent coaching, consultation services, and trainings.

I specialize in behavioral therapy for complex anxiety disorders such as social anxiety, health anxiety, generalized anxiety, and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. I have expertise in working with clients who are struggling to cope with life stressors and transitions, ADHD, or anger management, and those who are exploring their identities in adulthood.

I am passionate about teaching people how to express their emotions in a healthy way, unearthing insights related to their past and how it impacts their present, and conquering anxiety that gets in the way of living life to its fullest. I see clients from all walks of life and would love to help you on your journey to becoming your best self.

I categorize my style as direct and empathic, and love to use humor in sessions. I believe therapy should be a place you enjoy coming to where you are free to explore yourself on a deeper level - and have fun while doing it!
