Lauren is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) with over fifteen years of experience in the mental health field. Her career has spanned group practice, residential programs, inpatient units, and hospice care, giving her a deep and varied perspective on the challenges people face across different stages of life.
She also served as Clinical Director at Rhode Island’s first holistic recovery center, where she specialized in addiction treatment and played a key role in developing its intensive outpatient program. Lauren is fully trained in EMDR through EMDRIA and has completed holistic trainings at Kripalu, which inform her unique integration of traditional evidence-based practices with somatic and mindfulness-based approaches.
Lauren takes an eclectic, client-centered approach, drawing from EMDR, DBT, ERP, and mindfulness. She works with clients navigating trauma, OCD, anxiety, depression, maternal health, body image and eating concerns, and phobias. Central to her work is creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can feel seen, supported, and empowered to move toward meaningful growth and healing.
Outside of her therapy practice, Lauren is a wife and mother who enjoys time in nature, cooking, and engaging with her community.
