Compassionate Therapy for Anxiety, Depression, 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.
Do any of these feelings resonate with you? You may benefit from therapy if you are experiencing any of the following:
Exhausted from overthinking, worry, or constant spiraling
Hurt from attachment or relationship struggles
Overwhelmed with feeling "not good enough"
Frustrated by family issues or intergenerational trauma
Activated by your trauma and your past
Irritable or not motivated to get things done
Sadness originating from childhood wounds
You are worthy of a safe space to be heard and grow
