Lauren is a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist Clinical Fellow. She graduated from CU-Boulder with a B.A. in Psychology and diploma in Elementary Education and received her M.S. in Speech-Language Pathology from Metropolitan State University of Denver. Lauren's experience as the parent of a child with a language delay was the inspiration for her career in early intervention. Her clinical training deepened her passion for working with infants, toddlers, and their families and reinforced her appreciation for the collaborative coaching model, placing caregivers at the center of intervention. She believes her primary role as a therapist is to empower parents and caregivers to confidently support their child's communication development within the context of everyday life. She is committed to partnering with families to address the challenges that come with communication delays, focusing on practical, evidence-based strategies that fit naturally into play routines, daily activities, and family life. Lauren delights in the unique strengths that each family brings to intervention and enjoys helping a family build on those as a foundation for their child's growth.

When not working with families, Lauren enjoys hiking with her two dogs, eating good food, and making messy art with her three teenagers.
