About
Lauren believes effective mental health care begins with understanding the whole person, not just symptoms. She takes time to listen, recognizing that an accurate diagnosis is often a process rather than a single visit. Through education and collaboration, she helps patients understand their diagnosis, weigh treatment options, and make informed decisions. Her approach is thoughtful, individualized, and designed to fit each person’s unique needs and goals.
Lauren specializes in medication management while taking a whole-person approach to care. Treatment may include evidence-based supplements, sleep, nutrition, movement, and lifestyle changes. She also helps patients determine whether therapy fits their goals and identify the approach that best supports their progress.
Lauren has additional training in perinatal mental health and a special interest in women’s mental health across the lifespan, including pregnancy, postpartum, PMDD, perimenopause, and the transition to motherhood. Outside of work, she’s a mom of two, gardener, weightlifter, and dog lover.
