Hi there, I'm Lauren!

I offer a grounded, body-based therapy space for individuals—often women—feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns in their relationships. Together, we slow things down and work toward more steadiness, clarity, and connection.

My focus

I work with individuals—often women, mothers, caregivers—navigating overwhelm, anxiety, and relational stress. Many feel stuck in patterns, reactive, or disconnected from themselves. Together, we begin to make sense of these experiences and build more steadiness and connection.

My approach

My approach is grounded, relational, and body-based. We explore both your experiences and how they live in your body and nervous system. This work is shaped by how relationships and lived experiences are carried in the body, allowing for deeper, more lasting change.
