Find ease, alignment, connection. Find yourself again.
Holistic therapy in Sacramento, CA and virtually throughout California and Texas.
Does it feel like you’re stuck in the same patterns?
You care a lot, you can handle a lot, and others expect a lot from you. You are starting to find all the roles, relationships, goals and expectations that fill your life are overwhelming. From the outside it looks like you’re fine, your relationships are fine, your life is fine. But you are self-aware enough to know that you are running on auto-pilot, stressed out, disconnected from yourself and your relationships, and guilty because nothing seems to be enough. Bottom line- you are not present, engaged, and enjoying your life and relationships the way that you want to be.
Maybe it even feels like your life isn’t your own, just run by expectations, obligations, and the needs of others. You’ve lost yourself.
Breaking out of these patterns of stress and disconnection, resting, reclaiming your freedom, authentic connection, and centering your joy sounds like a dream.
It is time to let go of the broken patterns that keep you feeling stuck. Let’s help you build new ones that are aligned, life-giving, joy-centered, and connected.
I believe you can build a life of connection and reach big goals while still centering your own joy, values, and needs.
My name is Lauren and I am an holistic and compassionate therapist experienced in working with clients who are struggling with anxiety, burnout, and relationship or parenting challenges that may be rooted in trauma. I help clients do the deep work of healing the trauma at the center of their problems while learning how to bring more joy, ease, alignment, and connection into their daily lives. A therapy session with me is engaging and empowering. We may help you explore mind-body practices, try a new communication skill, understand your attachment style, work through a values clarification exercise, or problem-solve a current challenge. My clients feel supported during sessions because I am always helping you discover insights, asking questions, guiding you in practices, and creating an affirming space for them to grow.
I am an affirming therapist who is committed to creating healing space for clients who are part of the BIPOC community, LGBTQIA+ community, and others who may have stayed away from therapy because they fear that their lifestyles and ways of being (from polyamory to healthy substance use), interests (from astrology to herbology),or past choices might be judged.

Somatic Therapy: Mind-Body Healing
Our emotional and relational challenges don’t just live in our minds, they also live in our bodies. An upset stomach, racing heart, tension in the body, and not being able to sleep are all ways that your nervous system can tell you that something is off and needs attention. Somatic therapy focuses on working with the body and helping the nervous system to heal and learn new ways to respond to challenges.

Internal Family Systems/ Parts Work
Throughout life we learn to adapt to the world around us, the dangers, fears, and challenges with the tools and understandings we have available at that time. The parts of us that have learned to cope and survive in ways that no longer serve us still live inside of us and when we get to know them with curiosity, compassion, and support we can free them to live and connect in new ways.

Therapy Online
Online therapy provides a convenient way to access therapy on your time and in an environment you find comfortable. You don’t have to factor in the time it takes to commute to an office, sit in a waiting room, or drive home after a session of emotional work. Online therapy also means you get to choose your therapist based on their expertise and if they are the right fit instead of their location.
