I work with children, adolescents, young adults and their families during periods of turmoil and crisis. Your son or daughter has become more distant; grades are less predictable; friends may have changed and there is more conflict at home. Intuitively, you know something is going on, but aren't able to reach them. This is often the time where a therapist can bridge the gap.

My clinical practice is open to anyone seeking help and hope in their life. If you are struggling with depression or anxiety, childhood trauma, or ongoing grief and loss, I can help you find a path through this difficult season. I have a specialization in working with adult children of parents with personality disorders such as Borderline, Histrionic, and Narcissistic Personality Disorder. I work with individuals experiencing family estrangement and disconnection and help bring healing to that pain. I also work with mothers and women in life transitions. Ultimately, I believe in healing over time for all.

I work with clients to create awareness and then address unhealthy patterns that cause so many of us feel lonely, unfulfilled, and overwhelmed by our careers and relationships. I help clients identify the impact of imposed values of culture and family, as well as the impact of past experiences, and assist them in creating an authentic and aligned set of values they can live by with more ease and conviction. I also focus on the basics of distress tolerance, creating healthy boundaries, and building a trusting relationship with the self.

Do you ever feel deeply affected by your environment, emotions, or relationships? Sensitive people often carry what isn’t theirs—absorbing others’ emotions, expectations, and even shame. If you grew up adapting to feel safe or accepted, you may now struggle to trust your own voice or needs. Some describe feeling “too much,” while others feel numb or detached from themselves. Both are natural responses to experiences that taught the body it wasn’t safe to fully feel or rest.

You worked hard to build a life you’re proud of—but lately, it’s starting to feel like too much. Maybe you’re a professional or first-generation high-achiever who’s always been the strong one. Maybe you’re a parent while still trying to perform at a high level. On paper everything looks “good,” yet you feel anxious, exhausted, guilty, or disconnected.
I specialize in working with high-achieving parents, during perinatal period and/or major life transitions. My clients often struggle with perfectionism, burnout, identity shifts, relationship stress, and the quiet belief that they’re not “enough” no matter how hard they you try.

Many of my clients come to me feeling overwhelmed by stress, stuck in negative thinking, or weighed down by habits that no longer serve them. They may struggle with anxiety that keeps them up at night, a constant inner critic that leaves them drained, or the sense that they’ve tried everything but nothing has worked for long. What they want most is relief: to feel calmer, think more clearly, and finally take steps toward the healthier, more fulfilling life they imagine for themselves.If this sounds like you, you’re not alone. The truth is, most people don’t need more willpower—they need new tools and guidance to change.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, lost, or confused? Ever been stuck and don’t know why? Felt isolated in your struggles? Have you experienced the pain of betrayal or the frustration of not being supported? If any of these resonate with you, know you're not alone. I get it. Been there. The pain, the guilt, the sense of failure.

Tired of hearing “so how does that make you feel?” So was I. As a former entrepreneur understanding real world needs, I decided to do therapy differently. Sure, we will investigate your emotions (from a Depth psychological/Jungian perspective), but we will also look at how human neurobiology (the stuff that runs our brains and bodies) work together to make us both brilliant and flawed at the same time. There are many reasons why we can feel depressed, anxious, frustrated, or overwhelmed. I work with my clients to help them understand why they are the way they are and help them to become more of the person they would like to be.

I believe in the importance of creating a trusting, safe and collaborative therapeutic relationship with my clients. I view each session as an opportunity to grow by working through personal challenges, developing greater self-awareness, learning to set healthy boundaries, and exploring the positive and negative styles of thinking. I believe that although treating symptoms is important, people must look at the deeper underlying issues that might include low self-esteem, codependency, or childhood trauma.

Hi I'm Lauren. I help women (starting in their early 20's and on) navigate life's transitions- whether that be starting or ending a relationship, shifting careers, adjusting to motherhood, grieving a loss, or simply feeling stuck and needing a change.

I believe that every individual is a whole and healthy being. Trauma that occurs in childhood or later in life creates a block that makes one feel less than whole and far from healthy. Because of this, anxiety, depression, addictions to substances, food, and other destructive behaviors become a way of coping. My goal is to help my clients restore the feeling of wholeness and well-being by providing a safe, supportive and nurturing environment in which they can work through difficult issues and restore their true selves. I see it everyday...

You’ve done the work - read the books, maybe even tried therapy. But things in your life are still not working. You keep finding yourself in the same patterns: struggling with relationships, trying too hard to please, or just feeling... alone. I work with curious, capable people who’ve learned to survive by adapting - and are now ready to stop performing and figure out who they are without all that effort. Therapy is not about fixing. It's about giving up the pointless struggles and relaxing into who you truly are. If that’s what you’re after, we can start there.

Wanting to feel better but not knowing how to make that happen is something we all struggle with at one time or another. Sometimes the hardest thing we can do is admit we need some outside help. It can also be the bravest thing we can do.

You may not recall when it began. All you know is that avoiding certain emotions was necessary to stay on track. To succeed. But now that you're in a place where you can manifest the life you want, being apart from your emotions makes it hard to relate to others. When mind and body are out of sync, our natural vitality wanes as does our decision-making, focus, and ability to regulate automatic defenses. Untangling emotions from overprotective, often implicit, rules about self-expression, love, and trust is like reclaiming your inner compass and true voice. The need to hide is replaced with a sense of ease in being fully yourself.
