about lauren
I am a relational psychotherapist specializing in attachment-based therapy and existential therapy. My approach is grounded in the belief that healing happens in relationship. Understanding the connections that shaped us can help us cultivate new, healthier ways of relating to ourselves and others. That's often where our work together begins.
Clients come to me feeling stuck and wanting change. They may feel burdened by past experiences or trapped in patterns that aren't working for them anymore. Together, we slow down, make sense of those experiences, and begin to notice and shift patterns in real time.
My path to becoming a therapist began with a curiosity about what it means to be human. That first led me to study the Humanities before ultimately training in Psychology. Along the way, I came to see meaning-making as fundamental to being human.
This process, which we do intentionally in therapy, is how we make sense of our experiences, understand who we are, and find our place in the world. Most importantly, I discovered that meaning is formed and reshaped through relationship: the ones we have with others and the one we have with ourselves.
For me, healing is not about "fixing" who we are now. It is the process of becoming more fully ourselves by developing greater freedom to understand our experiences, relate differently, and live in ways that are in alignment with what matters most to us.
Therapy with me is warm, collaborative, and rooted in mutual respect. Clients best suited to my approach are thoughtful people who are ready to build lives that feel more secure, alive, and authentic.
