As a new mom, you are juggling it all—your ambitions, your relationships, and the overwhelming demands of motherhood. However, despite your best efforts, something feels off. Anxiety, guilt, or unresolved emotions might be clouding your experience, especially as you process the changes in your life or past trauma. You're ready to feel more grounded, confident, and at peace. I specialize in helping high achieving moms like you who want to embrace motherhood with confidence and balance. Let’s work together to get you back to feeling like yourself.

I offer therapy for moms with high functioning anxiety as well as moms who are ready to heal from trauma. I am EMDR trained (very soon-to-be certified), and I especially love supporting BIPOC and millennial moms who are highly sensitive.

I am a bilingual, highly sensitive, Latina woman of color who deeply values the therapeutic relationship. Together we will work collaboratively to create goals that meet your unique needs. Please visit my website, or visit (at)laurasandovaltherapy on Instagram to learn more or call to schedule a free 15-minute consultation today.

I'm trained in EMDR and on track for full certification, which means I'm gaining advanced expertise in this proven method for healing trauma. EMDR helps process past wounds so you can feel more present and at peace. Certification takes time, but it's worth it for the depth of healing it offers you.
