Well hi there! My name is Lauren. I’m a mom of two little girls, and they + my own motherhood journey are the reason I love working with moms.

My first daughter was born in 2021 (hello pandemic baby!) and I remember being shocked at how ill-prepared I was for postpartum despite how prepared I felt during my pregnancy. I felt shattered, lost to myself, pulled in a million directions. I was so in love with my baby, and eager to hide away from everyone and never be found.

Over time, I began to find my footing and root into my new identity as a mother and adjust to the ways it colored all parts of my world. That experience gave me a love and appreciation for matrescence: the process of becoming a mother.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and I serve pregnant and new mothers living in California through virtual telehealth therapy and in-person group therapy. I support millennial moms across all stages of their motherhood journey — from the first pregnancy test to the first thought of “WTF did I get myself into?” and beyond. I work with moms individually and in group therapy settings, as well as together with their partners in couples therapy.
