Clients from diverse paths look to Lauren for assistance. Many are professionals, business owners, executives, or multi-generational families.

Whatever a client’s situation, Lauren provides some key differentiators to her approach. First, she is an accomplished problem solver.

Clients engage her, she believes, because they want to accomplish important objectives in their lives. She dedicates herself to those priorities, marshaling her own efforts and those of her team and the wider firm to propel clients toward the future they envision.
