Compassionate Therapy for Anxiety, Trauma, and Self-Worth
Welcome, I'm so glad you're here.
Being your own harshest critic is a heavy load to bear, one that's both exhausting to carry and hard to put down. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling anxious, overwhelmed, self-critical, or stuck in patterns shaped by past trauma. Let's work together to untangle overwhelming thoughts and emotions so you can cultivate a deeper sense of self-worth and self-compassion. Step into a space where you have the opportunity to explore, heal, and evolve into the empowered, most confident version of yourself.
You are worthy of a safe space to be heard and grow.

Hi, I'm Lauren, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) trained in EMDR. I specialize in working with adults and teens experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, and relationship challenges. I help clients heal childhood wounds, process distressing memories, and shift unhelpful patterns so they can feel more grounded, confident, and connected.
​
I offer in-person therapy in South Pasadena and virtual therapy for clients anywhere in California.
​
I accept Aetna insurance and also offer private-pay therapy.

Sessions are available in English and Spanish.
