Hello, I'm Lauren
In the tapestry of my life, I have noticed a common thread of providence: the healing power of safe places.
Growing up, I moved around a lot, spreading my formative years between the US, South Korea, and Singapore. In the midst of turbulence and transience, I consistently found comfort and strength in safe places. They felt like oases in the desert, pockets of heaven on earth.
Our deep desire to be known and cherished leads us to one another and to God, the ultimate safe place. We were made for the kind of safety where trust can be shared, hurts can be healed, paths can be explored, and life, in all of its complexity, can be celebrated.
Wherever you find yourself, I am here for you and would be honored to journey with you to safety.
How I Work
My clients often describe me as warm, curious, and gentle. I consider my clients to be my heroes because they inspire me by their vulnerability and humility. They want to learn, grow, and heal. They value not only the practical tools we learn together but also our shared moments of presence and connection.
In our sessions together, we will approach your pain with tenderness and curiosity in order to understand the roots of your pain. As we practice noticing and naming your pain, we will learn to regulate your body in moments of distress. When there are painful memories to work through, we will help your body release and recover through EMDR.
Our time together can be as structured or as unstructured as you want it to be. Sometimes, my clients come in with specific childhood wounds they want to process so our time is structured and focused. Other times, my clients simply need a safe and comforting place to unburden and release the weight of the world they've been carrying.
However you may be, come as you are.
