Anxiety shows up as tension in our body, worrisome thoughts, and fear that seems to go in every direction. Depression shows up as low energy, immobility, and little motivation to do anything. Everyday things like getting outside or meeting with friends, become major stressors, or are avoided completely. When you feel this way most days, life can begin to feel small, and we can feel alone.

When was the last time you felt less anxious, less depressed, or most like yourself? Sometimes these questions can be hard to answer. The rollercoaster of anxiety and the crash of depression can make it hard to pinpoint a familiar time when you felt most like yourself. Maybe you can think of a time in the recent past when you felt most like yourself, but you don’t know how to get back to that version of you.

I’m Lauren, a psychotherapist who helps people move through their version of “stuck” and into balance and rhythm. My approach incorporates the body, mind, and relationships in healing. Balance means we can move through difficult emotional and somatic experiences using new supports. In life and relationships, the waves of life stop crashing; we learn to ride the wave, and the next wave. I can help you feel more at ease in your body and empowered to discover a new, more enjoyable, rhythm to life.
