counseling for anxiety, relationships, and trauma
IN DALLAS, TX + VIRTUAL IN TX
Hi, I’m Lauren
Licensed Professional Counselor
Certified EMDR Therapist
My hope is that, over time, you feel more comfortable being yourself—more able to trust your feelings, speak up for what you need, and feel close to others without losing yourself. My goal isn’t just to help you cope—it’s to help you actually feel different.
Sometimes you can understand why you feel a certain way and still feel stuck in it. You might know you don’t need to apologize, yet feel guilty when you don’t. Or recognize that something wasn’t your fault, but still feel responsible. I’m interested in helping you work through that distance between what you know and what you feel, with patience and compassion for the parts that haven’t caught up yet.
In our work together, we’ll make room to talk things through and pay attention to what comes up emotionally and in your body. I incorporate EMDR alongside talk therapy, depending on your needs and what we’re working toward. I’ll explain what we’re doing and why, and we’ll stay in conversation about how it feels for you.
There’s room for our sessions to meet you where you are. Some days, we may spend time with an experience that still hurts. Other days, you may need support with a difficult conversation or space to untangle everything that happened that week. You don’t have to arrive with a plan or know what’s most important before we begin.
I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, painful relationship experiences, trauma, grief, and life transitions. You don’t need to have a name for what you’re going through to reach out. Feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or simply aware that something needs to change is enough of a place to start.
If you’d like to connect, I offer a complimentary 15-minute consultation. We can talk about what’s bringing you here, what you’re hoping for, and any questions you have. You don’t need to prepare anything or find the perfect words. We can start wherever you are.

Individual therapy is a space that is fully yours. Together, we'll slow down, talk honestly about what's been hard, and make sense of the patterns that may be keeping you stuck. Whether you're navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, or a major life transition, we'll work toward helping you feel more grounded, connected, and like yourself again.

Sometimes, even when you understand why something happened, it can still feel like your body and mind are stuck in it. EMDR is a type of therapy that helps your brain process painful or overwhelming experiences so they no longer feel as intense or continue to shape your life in the same way. We’ll move at a pace that feels safe for you and make sure you have the support you need throughout the process.

Even strong relationships can get stuck in the same difficult conversations, disconnection, or misunderstandings. Couples counseling gives you both a space to slow down, better understand what is happening between you, and learn how to communicate in a way that feels more honest and connected. We’ll work toward building a relationship where both of you feel heard, understood, and supported.
