“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.”
-Carl Jung
Do you currently have a sense of "knowing" that something isn't for you anymore? This might be a career, a relationship (or "situationship"), spiritual believes, or a habit you just can't kick. Clients come to me when they are navigating transition. A shift has taken place in your soul or perspective that may change the course of your life. Part of this process is grieving what was or what has been- and no one should go through that alone. These types of transitions also happen in our romantic partnership. One or both of you may need to navigate what this means in order to communicate more effectively and deepen your connection.
We can discover all of this together.
Welcome!
I’m Lauren & I can help.
I am a licensed marriage and family therapist in the heart of downtown Nashville. I wanted to become a therapist because therapy personally changed my life. You might be here because you want to become more self-aware, set goals, and take action to live your most authentic and fulfilled life. This looks different for everyone, therapy is not “One Size Fits All”. Together, we will determine what that looks like for YOU.
I use an attachment-based lens with all of my clients to bring awareness to generational patterns that are repeating themselves today, whether it be in relationships or struggle with self. I am trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). EFT is the American Counseling Association’s number one recommended modality for couples. I also bring in aspects of the enneagram. This is a tool that helps you better understand yourself and your personality- take the quiz at the top of the page! I have a particular interest in working with clients experiencing the end of a relationship and what navigating that type of grief entails. I am also passionate about working with couples and helping them experience relational healing. I work with those processing the loss of a beloved pet.
I have a special interest and have completed training in working with clients who have experienced or plan to experience non-ordinary states of consciousness (NOSOC) This is including, but not limited to, ketamine assisted psychotherapy (KAP). I am currently training in preparation & integration of NOSOC.
I know how hard it can be to find a counselor- I’ve been there. Sitting through multiple counselors- getting nowhere, can be discouraging. Not to mention, you are investing your hard-earned money in this deeply personal process. This is why I offer a free 15 minute phone call consultation to make sure we would be a good fit for your therapeutic journey. If you feel that I am not the right counselor for you, I am committed to helping you find the right fit.

About me
I am just like you. I still learn new things about myself daily and am committed to my own therapy process to ensure I am able to show up for my clients in the way they deserve. I am spiritually secular in my approach , but I am open and respectful of all religions and spiritual practices. I am an enneagram 6, so I’m great at asking all the hard questions. I grew up in Chattanooga, TN where my family still lives and I visit often. In my free time, I love jam bands, watching horror movies, and spending time with my dog, Kya. I love the summertime and being on the lake, as well as traveling around the country. Follow me on Instagram-@loco_emotion
