You know what you want to change. You just keep running into the same wall.
Coaching is where we figure out what's in the way and do something about it.

COACHING VS. THERAPY
What's the difference between coaching and therapy?
Good question. Here's how I think about it.
Therapy is a clinical process. We work with diagnosed mental health conditions, process trauma, and address deeper psychological patterns. It operates under a clinical framework and is sometimes covered by insurance.
Coaching is different. It's not clinical, doesn't involve diagnosis, and isn't covered by insurance. But it is no less real. Coaching is for people who want to work on specific patterns, behaviors, or goals. Maybe you don't have a clinical diagnosis. Maybe you have done therapy and want to keep building. Maybe you just want to work on the stuff that's keeping you stuck, without the clinical structure.
Same Lauren. Same directness. Same "let's figure out what's underneath this." Different framework.
You want to work on specific patterns or goals without a clinical diagnosis.
You have done therapy before and want to keep doing the work in a different structure.
You are a high-performer who wants to debunk the stories you have been telling yourself about your worth, your identity, or your limits.
You want accountability and directness, not just reflection.
You are in a transition and want support figuring out who you are on the other side of it.
You want someone to connect the dots with you, not just hand you a framework.
You are not in acute crisis but you are stuck in patterns that keep showing up.

WHO COACHING IS FOR
HOW COACHING WORKS
What coaching actually looks like.
We meet regularly. Each session, we are working on something specific. Maybe it's a pattern that keeps showing up at work. Maybe it's the story you have been telling yourself about what you are allowed to want. Maybe it's figuring out who you are now that the role you built your identity around has shifted.
I bring the same approach I use in therapy: curiosity, directness, and a genuine interest in figuring out what is underneath the surface behavior. We are connecting dots, naming patterns, and building something different.
I am not a cheerleader. I am not going to hand you a vision board. I am going to ask you the hard questions and stay in it with you until something shifts.
