Hello and welcome! Taking the first step toward finding a therapist can feel overwhelming, but you’re not alone. I’m here to support you in navigating the path toward healing and mental wellness. I work with adolescents and adults dealing with trauma, anxiety, mood disorders, life transitions, and identity exploration. I also provide affirming care for the LGBTQIA+ community and support for couples looking to strengthen their connection.
I am trained in (EMDR) and incorporate Esther Perel’s approach in my work with couples, as well as a humanistic approach. No matter who walks into the room, my goal is to create a space where you feel safe, empowered, and fully in control of your treatment. It’s important to me that you feel like your authentic self in our sessions—free to process your needs
I can’t wait to connect with you. I truly believe that with a strong therapeutic relationship, the journey of therapy can be meaningful—and even enjoyable—through both the ups and downs. I’ll always meet you where you are and tailor our work to your unique needs.

I can't recommend Loren enough! She has a real gift for making people feel comfortable and understood. Her approach is both warm and professional, so it's easy to open up and actually make progress. You'd be lucky to have her as your therapist.

In our first few sessions, we'll focus on building trust and exploring your background. I use CBT to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and trace them back to their roots in anxiety or trauma. Understanding your history (whether individually or as a couple) is key to moving forward and helping rewire the brain's responses.
