Meet Lauren

My experience includes working with depression, anxiety, perinatal/postpartum mood disorders, grief, relational struggles, racial trauma, and life transitions. I believe healing our past wounds helps us become better partners, parents, and individuals. I provide a safe, nurturing environment with culturally responsive and LGBTQIA+ affirming care, focusing on your strengths and goals while facilitating growth toward self-acceptance and empowerment. I acknowledge that taking the first step in reaching out for therapy requires immense courage and vulnerability, and I would be honored to support you on your healing journey.

I believe healing our past wounds helps us become better partners, parents, and individuals.

Interests

I love spending time with my family and friends. I usually always have a lunch date scheduled with a friend or group of friends on Fridays. I'm a huge baseball fan...go Dodgers! I also enjoy traveling around California including trips to the beach, Universal Studios, Dodger Stadium, and of course...Disneyland!
