Hi, I’m Lauren.
I specialize in trauma and addictions. I’m also a well rounded therapist equipped to help with a wide variety of difficulties and disorders. I am an LPC, ASAT-Candidate (future CSAT), and LCDC certified in Brainspotting.
I have a passion for people and can connect with anyone. It’s my pleasure to join you on your journey. Having someone specialized and well trained (by grad school and life) makes all the difference.
My analytical and also highly relational approach helps you gain greater self awareness, recover from past hurts, develop healthy skills, and create real behavior change.
I am currently an ASAT-Candidate, training through IITAP and working toward becoming a CSAT. I have experience with both substance and process addictions, trauma, and co-occurring mental illness.
I am certified in Brainspotting and use this modality to help you heal from trauma and gain a sense of safety, security, and serenity. I can also use Brainspotting to enhance performance.
I work with individuals in-person in Dallas and virtually from anywhere in Texas. I do not accept insurance but can provide a superbill.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for modifying thinking and behavior, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for emotional regulation, Patrick Carnes’ 30 Task Model for sex addiction, psychodynamic therapy for insight and connecting dots, and Brainspotting for trauma and performance. I take a holistic approach and combine talk therapy (to change your thinking) with somatic modalities (to heal your body and regulate your nervous system) so you achieve optimal results.
