Hi, I’m Lauren

Therapy Rooted in Real Connection, Not Quick Fixes

I am a somatic, relational therapist. I help high-achieving, overwhelmed people move out of their heads and reconnect with their bodies. Instead of handing out checklists or diagnosing from a distance, I use deep listening, metaphor, and mindful body tracking to help you process heavy stress and feel less alone.

Services

  • Individual Therapy

    Many people get stuck reacting in ways they don't fully understand because their nervous system is locked in survival mode. We'll slow things down and explore your relational patterns so you can feel grounded, connected, and at home in your own body.

    The clients who get the most out of working with me initially come in saying things like:

    • I think I may have ADHD but I’m afraid that’s just my brain coming up with excuses to be lazy

    • I keep ending up in bad or dead-end relationships - and I don’t know why

    • I have trouble accepting compliments or help, so I tend to strong-arm my way through life until my body forces me to crash (through burnout, chronic fatigue, or physical flare-ups).

    • I want a therapist who is deeply, actively engaged in the room with me—someone who will sit with me in the heavy stuff, rather than just offering quick fixes or blank stares

    • …and more.

    If these sound like you, I encourage you to schedule a free 15 min call with me to determine your needs. Even if we’re not the right fit, I’m committed to finding a couple of referrals from my professional network to get you to the right place.

  • Couples Counseling

    Relationships can feel confusing or frustrating when old patterns keep showing up. In sessions, we'll slow things down, track what is happening between your nervous systems, step out of the 'push/retreat' cycle, and rebuild emotional safety together.

    Most couples who reach out to me typically identify these problems:

    • One partner pushes (or “nags”) and the other retreats (or “shuts down”) - both find this dynamic exhausting

    • You’ve started living parallel lives (sleeping separately, barely spending time together, etc)

    • You love each other but have forgotten being in love, and at this point it feels too late to hope for that

    • You/ your partner are unsure about staying together, but want to try couples therapy first (or one last time) before deciding

    • …and more.

    If these sound like you, I encourage you to reach out to me today. Even if we’re not the right fit, I’m committed to sending you in the right direction.

  • Groups

    Group therapy provides a supportive therapeutic environment where you can share your truth and pain with others and be supported without judgment. These are typically held virtually at my practice.
