Hello! My name is Lauren, and I’m a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW). I received my Bachelor’s in Psychology from Iowa State University in December 2018 and continued my education at the University of Iowa where I obtained my Master’s Degree in Social Work in May 2023. 

My experience mainly includes at-risk adolescents. I truly love getting to work with teens as they figure out who they are in life. I also love working with adults and helping them create connections and understanding in life. 

I utilize Strengths Based, CBT, DBT, Solution Focused, Trauma Informed Care, and Person Centered approaches when it comes to therapy. I believe that people are the facilitator of their own lives. They know themselves better than anyone. It’s important to meet the person where they’re at, as well as to support and guide them to where they would like to be.

In my free time, I enjoy reading, snuggling with my dog and two cats, spending time with family and friends, and buying things I don’t need from Target!
