I’m Lauren.

I’m a therapist, speaker, and former healthcare leader with over 15 years of experience helping people lead, connect, and navigate life with greater clarity, resilience, and self-awareness.

My speaking blends clinical insight with real-life experience, creating conversations that are engaging, thought-provoking, and deeply relatable.

Whether speaking to healthcare teams, leaders, professionals, or high-achievers, I bring a warm, direct, and empowering approach that helps audiences feel more self-aware, more connected, and better equipped to navigate stress, relationships, burnout, and the pressures of everyday life.

Some of my signature topics include:

  • In today’s healthcare environment, helping professionals are navigating increasing emotional demands, system pressures, and the ongoing complexity of patient care. This presentation explores resilience through the lens of emotional awareness, boundaries, nervous system regulation, self-compassion, and relational attunement. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of burnout, compassion fatigue, and the impact chronic stress can have on both professional and personal well-being. Rooted in trauma-informed and strengths-based principles, this session offers practical, realistic tools to help professionals stay grounded, connected, and emotionally sustainable in the work they do. Attendees will leave with strategies they can immediately apply to support resilience, strengthen self-awareness, and continue showing up with purpose and compassion.

    IDEAL FOR: Case managers, social workers, nurses, healthcare leaders, behavioral health professionals, and helping professionals seeking practical strategies for resilience, burnout prevention, and emotional sustainability in high-demand work environments.

  • We all have an inner critic. It’s the voice that pushes us to do more, be better, and avoid mistakes. But when that voice turns harsh, it can drain confidence, fuel burnout, and keep us stuck. This talk explores the roots of the inner critic through the lens of psychology and workplace behavior, offering practical tools to shift self-doubt into self-trust.

    IDEAL FOR: Executives, team leaders, HR professionals, founders, and high achievers who struggle with perfectionism, imposter feelings, self-doubt, or burnout.

  • Some wounds don’t come from the work itself - they come from the systems we work within. This talk explores the often overlooked and hidden toll of organizational trauma: the burnout, moral injury, and emotional fallout that become embedded in workplace culture. Leaders will learn how to recognize the signs, understand the impact, and apply trauma-informed strategies that promote safety, trust, and resilience, for themselves and their teams.

    IDEAL FOR: Leaders, managers, HR professionals, healthcare and human service organizations, and anyone working in systems that carry the weight of chronic stress or exposure to trauma.
