Testimonials

  • “When I say Lauren is amazing, has had a huge positive impact in my life, and I don't know what I would do without her, it is no exaggeration. My first appointment with her was five years ago with my then-partner for couples counseling, and she quickly helped me realize that I was in a situation I needed to let go of and move on from. I continued seeing her on my own for my mental health, and I'm so glad we've been able to continue our professional relationship. She has been so instrumental in helping me understand, establish, and enforce necessary boundaries, handle stress, big emotions, and difficult situations, and continually work on being the best version of myself. She is an amazing listener, so supportive, and guides and encourages with kindness. She tells me what I need to hear in a way that is both gentle and firm, which can be a difficult balance to achieve! I would absolutely, genuinely, highly recommend her to anyone seeking mental health support, whether it's dealing with the day-to-day or major life shifts. Thank you, Lauren, for all you do and all you are!”

  • “When I first met Lauren, she saved my life. She has diligently guided me through my journey and taught me how to not only survive, but trust. She is a shining light through darkness and one of the only people I’ve trusted fully and without question. Leading with both confidence and empathy, she has never faulted telling me what I need to hear and consoling me when it’s difficult. I would highly recommend working alongside Lauren.”

    -Inspire Client

  • “I have been working with Lauren since I was 12 and I am now 18. She’s been with me for all my highs and lows in life. She’s watched me grow up and helped me become the person I am now. I don’t have one bad thing to say about her or the work that we’ve done together. I’ve had more than an incredible experience with her.”

    -Inspire Client

  • “Lauren is a top tier therapist and thought leader. She is soft when she needs to be, but she will challenge you to think outside of your comfort zone, and she isn't afraid to be direct or blunt. She is what you are looking for in a life coach.”
