Hi, I’m Loren.

I’m Loren, the owner of Woven Self Therapeutic Services, LLC. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of New Jersey who has been practicing since 2014.

I didn’t originally set out to become a therapist. I began my academic path in art education, drawn to creativity, expression, and emotions. My first semester of college I took an introductory psychology class and something clicked. Learning about the brain, behavior, and the “why” behind how we feel and act felt endlessly fascinating, and it changed my path.

Anxiety has been part of my own life since childhood, so I understand firsthand how overwhelming it can be to move through the world while your nervous system feels constantly on high alert. That lived experience, combined with my training, shaped a deep desire to help others feel more grounded, understood, and less alone.

I’ve worked with various populations and found my niche working with individuals, couples, and families navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, stress, family issues, boundaries, and empowerment.

I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Internal Family Systems (IFS). For couples work, I incorporate the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). I don’t believe one modality fits all; building trust in the therapeutic relationship matters most.

My approach is person-centered and collaborative. You set the pace, and we move forward in a way that feels safe and manageable, never rushed or forced.
