Hi there!

I’m Lauren, a Nationally Certified School Psychologist and Certified Child-Centered Play Therapist.

I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and young adults through testing and therapy. As an advocate for every client's best interests, I firmly believe in tailoring communication to suit each individual's needs. For some children, play serves as a powerful form of expression, offering a window into their world. I take pride in amplifying the voices of those who may not otherwise be heard, particularly focusing on children navigating challenges in social skills, emotional regulation, sensory sensitivities, anger management, anxiety, depression, learning, and behavior. Approaching my work through a holistic lens, I strive to understand every facet of a child's life. By identifying their strengths and weaknesses, I help clients envision their potential, guiding them toward realizing it. In addition to counseling, I am an expert in comprehensive evaluations for various different symptoms and difficulties. I excel in interpreting data to provide you with detailed answers to all of your questions.

I grew up on Long Island, New York and moved to Florida in 2020. I received my Master’s degree and my Educational Specialist degree in School Psychology from the University of Connecticut (UConn). Go Huskies! I also work as a School Psychologist in an elementary school in St. Petersburg, FL. I am dedicated to helping children and adolescents become the best version of themselves!
