Sex-Positive, Kink Allied Therapists in Marietta, GA
Hi! I'm Lauren and my goal in therapy is to provide you space for connecting and walking with you through your journey. I believe that growth, change, and healing are possible for you. I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families (many of whom are military-connected) who are navigating life transitions, relationship shifts, anxiety, and depression. As a former military spouse (and now veteran spouse), I understand the unique strengths and stressors that individuals, couples, and families face from the military environment.

You love your partner, but something feels off—more distance, more conflict, less connection. I help couples break painful patterns and reconnect through deeper understanding, trust, and intimacy. Together, we’ll strengthen communication, rebuild emotional safety, and create a relationship that feels secure, connected, and intentional.
I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with advanced training in Gottman, EFT, and sex therapy. Let me help you navigate this phase in your relationship. It can feel isolating, but you do not have to do at it alone.

Healing is messy, hard, and sometimes scary. But healing is possible, and you don't have to do it alone. I specialize in working with individuals who are affected by trauma, PTSD, domestic violence, and codependency to feel safe, understood and supported while building self-worth, setting boundaries, and creating meaningful relationships.

Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, self-aware, and emotionally insightful, yet still find themselves repeating painful patterns, struggling with intimacy or connection, or feeling stuck in ways they don't fully understand.
My approach to therapy is relational, active, and depth oriented. I pay close attention to attachment patterns, emotional defenses, resentment, conflict styles, and the underlying dynamics shaping relationships and emotional life. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), and Certified Sex Therapist (CST).

I specialize and collaborate with Heterosexual, Heteroflexible, Bisexual and Same-Gender Loving individuals who are experiencing Sexual Health/Dysfunction, HIV & Aging, Sexual Compulsivity, Anxiousness, Sadness, Identity Challenges, Relationship Issues, Kink/BDSM, ENM and LGBTQ specific challenges.
I believe therapy helps us understand the power of the mind. This is especially useful when we feel disconnected, marginalized, or stigmatized. When we feel this way, learning how the mind channels this information through thoughts, feelings, emotions, and perceptions, can influence us to recognize our own cognitive processes and how they impact our life. If we attend to our cognitive processes in a healthy way, it may lead to regulation of mood, clarity, balance and feelings of peace. We start to evolve and accept certain things about ourselves. We begin to feel at peace from within. I help my clients through this process.

Life is full ups and downs. In my practice I will try and help you find those ups and get back there. I have extensive experience working with women issues, relationship issues, neurodivergence, trauma, family separation, anxiety, depression, sexual abuse, and parenting. I find it impactful to look at our own system and be in tune with all our parts for optimal balance and inner peace. There are many studies that show that the most effective thing in therapy that determines positive progress is the rapport between you and the therapist. Finding who you connect with is essential, let's see if we could be a good fit.

Security, stability, balance - these three words come to mind when I think of ultimate human desire; to feel safe, stable and overall a sense of balance within our lives; at times we may feel these are not being met.

My goal is to approach our therapeutic relationship with compassion, non-judgment, empathy and acceptance.

You’ve learned how to hold it together, but it costs you—constant anxiety, burnout, or the feeling that you’re never quite safe being yourself. If you’re neurodivergent or queer, your trauma may come from years of masking, rejection, or having to stay hyper-alert just to belong. You might feel disconnected from your body, unsure of your needs, or exhausted from trying to fit where you never truly did. Therapy can be a place where you don’t have to explain or perform—a space to feel understood, rebuild self-trust, and slowly move out of survival mode into a life that feels more grounded, authentic, and sustainable.

I work with teens and young adults who look like they’re holding it together but feel anxious, overwhelmed, or quietly exhausted underneath. Anxiety may show up at school, work, in relationships, in public, or when you finally slow down and can’t shut your mind off. Many of my clients struggle with overthinking, perfectionism, people-pleasing, imposter syndrome, or feeling stuck in roles they’ve outgrown.
I'll help you understand what’s driving these patterns, especially around attachment, family expectations, identity, and life transitions, and turn insight into real change so you’re not just coping, but building a life.

What brought you here today? For many of us, we seek counseling because of pain, distress or the sense something is missing in our lives. That certainly was the case for me. This quote by Pema Chödrön inspired me to curate an intentional life and help others do the same, "Only to the degree that we’ve gotten to know our personal pain, only to the degree that we’ve related with pain at all, will we be fearless enough, brave enough, and enough of a warrior to be willing to feel the pain of others.”
If you are ready to create an intentional life, I would love to walk with you and be a guide.
