Hi! I’m Lauren. I’ve always known I wanted to work with kids. I grew up in North Carolina, where I went to the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics. I received my Bachelor’s in Psychology (with a minor in Spanish) from Clemson University in 2015 and earned my Master’s in Clinical Psychology from Western Kentucky University in 2018. I worked as an ABA therapist on and off before and during graduate school. After graduating, I practiced as a Licensed Psychological Associate in North Carolina for five years, mostly working within the public school system to complete evaluations for special education services. I moved across the country with my boyfriend and our dog in August 2023 and started here at PPSC. In my free time, I like to play board games, read, watch Netflix, travel, hike, go to trivia nights and practice yoga. I look forward to meeting you and your child and supporting you with whatever challenges you’re experiencing!
