About Lauren
Hi, I'm Lauren. You don’t have to be in crisis to want more ease, confidence, and balance in your life. Many of the people I work with feel stuck in cycles of self-criticism, overwhelm, and the pressure to always be “okay.” For some, that heaviness shows up as anxiety, struggles with food and body image, or the quiet exhaustion of trying to hold everything together. Therapy can be a space where you don’t have to carry it all on your own.
I became a therapist because I understand how deeply our relationship with ourselves shapes everything, how we eat and move, how we connect with others, and how we feel day to day. I specialize in supporting children, families, and adults in untangling the patterns of anxiety, disordered eating, body image struggles, depression, and attachment wounds that keep them feeling stuck, so they can build healthier, more compassionate relationships with themselves and others.
In our sessions, you’ll find a safe, collaborative space grounded in warmth, directness, and respect for your resilience. I blend meaningful conversation with practical tools from CBT, DBT, EFT, IFS, somatic practices, and intuitive eating, tailoring therapy to what feels most supportive for your unique journey.
Outside of the therapy room, I value balance and connection, spending time with loved ones, exploring new places with a coffee in hand, or simply enjoying a quiet walk outdoors.
If you’re ready to feel more grounded, empowered, and at home in your own mind and body, I would love to connect and explore whether we might be a good fit.
