About Lauren

Many people appear to be managing well on the outside while quietly struggling with anxiety, self-criticism, emotional overwhelm, low self-worth, or concerns about food and body image.


Hello, I'm Lauren.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) providing counselling and psychotherapy for children, teens, adults, couples, and families in St. Thomas, Ontario, with virtual services available across Ontario when appropriate.


I have a particular interest in anxiety, body image, disordered eating patterns, self-esteem and self-worth, emotional regulation, and relationship concerns. My work considers how earlier experiences, relationships, attachment, emotions, and coping strategies may influence what you are experiencing today.


When working with body image and eating concerns, I provide a supportive, non-judgmental space to explore the emotions, beliefs, experiences, and patterns that shape your relationship with food, your body, and yourself.


I also support children, couples, and families with emotional, relational, and communication difficulties.


My approach is warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed, combining emotional exploration with practical strategies and tailoring therapy to each person's individual needs and experiences.
