Something in you already knows what needs to change.

Therapy is how we learn to listen to it.

A feeling you can't quite shake, a pattern you've tried to change, a quiet sense that there's more going on beneath the surface than you can name.

That's where we begin.

This work might be for you if

  • You've gone through a loss, a breakup, or a major transition and aren't sure who you are on the other side

  • You're succeeding by most measures, but feel strangely disconnected from yourself, from others, from what you actually want

  • You're creative or intellectual by nature, but something has gone quiet. The spark that used to drive you feels out of reach

  • You're asking yourself, for the first time or again: what do I actually want?

Hi, I’m Laurelin, a psychotherapist in Los Angeles.

I offer psychoanalytic psychotherapy—a steady, unhurried space to reconnect with your own voice, your inner life, and your sense of direction.

My work attends closely to what lives beneath the surface: to what emerges in dreams, in patterns of speech, in memories and the shape of your relationships. Following this inner wisdom can bring relief from symptoms while opening something deeper, a genuine change in how life feels from the inside.

I bring warmth, curiosity, and a respect for the complexity of your experience. Your process is uniquely your own, and that's always where we start.

Some of what we might explore together

  • Major transitions—the end of a relationship, a career shift, a loss, a move, the approach of a milestone—can feel disorienting even when they are chosen. These moments also carry an invitation: to clarify what you actually want, grieve what has passed, and begin to imagine what comes next.

    Support during times of change may involve grieving what has been lost, while also listening closely to your inner experience to understand what is beginning to take shape.

  • You may feel stuck, disconnected from your own voice, unsure of what you want, or constrained by roles and expectations about who you should be.

    Therapy offers space to listen closely to your inner life and create room for a more authentic, flexible sense of self to emerge.

  • Difficulties in relationships can feel confusing or painful, especially when familiar patterns repeat despite your best efforts. Through careful attention to relational dynamics—including what unfolds in the therapeutic relationship itself—this work can help clarify what is being reenacted and open new possibilities for connection.

  • Couples often seek therapy when conflict, distance, or misunderstanding begins to feel entrenched. I use a relational and attachment informed approach to help you slow down and explore the patterns shaping your relationship, clarify underlying needs and desires, and create the possibility for more honest and meaningful connection.
