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 are ready to feel more grounded, confident, and at peace. I specialize in helping high-achieving moms like you embrace motherhood with confidence and balance. Let’s work together to help you feel like yourself again.
I offer therapy for moms with high functioning anxiety as well as moms who are ready to heal from trauma. I am EMDR 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'll work collaboratively to create goals that meet your unique needs. Please visit my website, or visit (at)laurasandovaltherapy on Instagram to learn more or schedule a free 15-minute consultation at (laurasandovaltherapy.clientsecure.me).

Research shows that the strength of our therapeutic relationship is the best predictor of positive outcomes.I'm a warm, trauma-informed, EMDR-certified therapist who holds space for the messy while challenging the stories keeping you stuck. We'll work with your whole system (anxiety, perfectionism, old wounds) so you actually feel different, with compassion, humor, and the occasional side-eye.
