Lauren is a licensed and board-certified Creative Arts Therapist. Her specialties include treating eating disorders, trauma, and anxiety. In addition, she supports clients in creative pursuits, career, and financial empowerment, as well as issues regarding relationships and sexuality/sexual function.

Lauren’s passion lies in helping people to become empowered and achieve balance and fulfillment in their lives. She believes in a trauma-informed, somatically oriented, and client-centered approach. Lauren works intuitively; blending talk therapy with art therapy techniques and embodiment practices.

After receiving a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography & Imaging from New York University, Lauren worked for two years in photo editing for various magazines. She found herself yearning to work directly with people, in order to have a more meaningful impact. This led her to leave the corporate world and pursue her Masters degree in Art Therapy from the School of Visual Arts, which she completed in 2009.

Lauren has since led art therapy groups and coordinated programs at several treatment centers. Lauren has been working in private practice since 2012.

Along the way, Lauren has continued to follow her path of personal growth, empowerment, and healing. Lauren has trained in intuitive healing methods and completed a 200-hour yoga teacher training. Most recently, she has completed somatically integrated training at the Embodied Recovery Institute. She is always grateful for all of the teachers and healers who have crossed her path, including her clients, whose journeys she has been honored to witness.
