Lauren completed her education degree in Alabama while on a sports scholarship. After graduating, she returned to her home in Saskatchewan, where she worked as a high school teacher and guidance counsellor. Lauren worked primarily with female youth in high-trauma situations and worked to incorporate holistic methods of healing that align with an individual’s cultural strengths and supports. After six years of teaching, Lauren went back to school and graduated with her master’s in counselling psychology to better suit the challenges and needs of the individuals she was working with. She now carves traditional Indigenous canoes with youth in the Okanagan region incorporating culture with physical healing.
To help meet the specific needs of each unique person, Lauren works on building a therapeutic approach together with her clients. She listens to understand life challenges to meet clients where they are currently and works to identify strengths and tools in their lives to achieve personal goals. Lauren creates an inviting environment for clients to feel comfortable exploring difficult subjects with a side of warm humour.
Lauren brings her success as a player and coach at the national level to help her clients with mental performance goals and training. No stranger to injury, she works with athletes working through rehab to come back stronger mentally while they heal physically.
Through teaching and coaching, Lauren brings over 10 years of experience helping youth and adolescents navigate life’s unique challenges. By walking beside clients in their mental health journey, Lauren incorporates a holistic mind and body approach to healing and well-being. As an elite-level athlete and coach, Lauren works from a strength-based solution-focused approach tailored to individual clients’ needs. Bringing all these life skills together as a counsellor, Lauren works hard to help clients’ voices feel heard and supported when navigating life’s challenges.

Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) is a guided technique used in counselling to help reduce physical tension and calm the nervous system. It involves systematically tensing and then releasing different muscle groups throughout the body, bringing awareness to the contrast between tension and relaxation. As a therapeutic tool, PMR can help clients recognize where they hold stress, improve body awareness, and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, stress, and physical discomfort. Over time, it supports a stronger mind-body connection and enhances a client’s ability to self-regulate both physically and emotionally.
