A Nurturing Space for Your Phase of Life
Therapy for when you need calm, clarity, and connection through life’s most tender and transformative moments.
Do you feel overwhelmed by the invisible pressure to do it all flawlessly?
Do you worry that admitting you’re struggling makes you “less than” a great mom—or partner?
I understand. In the blur of prenatal excitement or the whirlwind of new parenthood, it’s common to feel disconnected from your inner strength—and ashamed of that feeling.
Together, we’ll gently uncover what’s underneath the stress, shame, or self-judgment—and help you rediscover the grounded, resilient person you truly are.

I’m Lauren, a perinatal therapist specializing in working with high-achieving, highly sensitive women and couples navigating the complexities of the prenatal and postpartum period.
You may be used to pushing hard, meeting goals, and caring for others—yet when the pressure is on, you struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, or a harsh inner critic.
I value
empathy, acceptance & vulnerability
emotional safety & connection
realistic, flexible support
My Approach
My approach is rooted in empathy, depth, and real-world understanding of the challenges you face.
I draw from gentle yet effective therapies—including EMDR, Internal Family Systems, trauma-informed care, and mindfulness—to support healing and foster a greater sense of balance and well-being.
Your Path Forward…
You don’t have to keep ignoring your needs—or dismissing your feelings in favor of perfection. Together we’ll build tailored tools to help you:
Let go of impossible standards and release the weight of perfectionism
Manage anxiety and overwhelm so you can rest—even just a little
Navigate sadness or trauma with compassion toward yourself
Reconnect to your inner voice and sense of calm
Feel supported in this fragile, transformative time
