Lauryn is a graduate student at Columbia University, where she’s pursuing a degree in Advanced Clinical Social Work with a focus on decolonizing traditional mental health frameworks and approaches. Lauryn is passionate about creating spaces where clients feel seen, safe, and never judged — spaces where the journey back home to oneself can feel a little less lonely.

Guided by a belief in people’s inherent wisdom and capacity to heal, Lauryn loves supporting individuals on their paths of becoming and living in alignment — especially in a world that often rewards self-abandonment. Her approach is collaborative, compassionate, and rooted in the power of bearing witness, offering language, and using tools that help adults reconnect with their own aliveness and truth.

Lauryn holds a bachelor's degree in Sociology from Harvard University, where her work centered on mental health disparities impacting Black women and girls. She consequently brings a systems lens and solution-oriented focus to therapy, helping clients understand their experiences in context and building the muscles to hold themselves with deep self-compassion and grace.

As a queer, neurodivergent, Black woman, Lauryn is honored to serve her communities and those on their healing journeys desiring to nurture healthy, loving relationships with themselves and the world around them.

When she’s not in sessions or working, you’ll likely find her passionately speaking about love as a radical politic rooted in liberation with anyone who will listen, nourishing her body and spirit with delicious new foods and movement, and making friends with trees and waterways wherever she goes.
