Hi! My name is Lauren, and I have a Master’s degree in Psychological Science from Tulane University. I’m currently pursuing my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology, with the goal of working with children and families.

Families describe me as dependable, patient, organized, and genuinely caring. I love planning fun, screen-free activities like crafts, games, reading, outdoor play, and creative projects while always prioritizing each child’s safety and well-being. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your child, and I strive to create a positive, nurturing environment where children can have fun, learn, and feel comfortable.
