Come find your village…
Steady parents.
Held mamas.
Connected babies.
Thriving children.
Perinatal Therapy, Early Childhood Therapy, Parent Coaching and Mother Circles, woven with Expressive Arts Therapy and Nurture Neuroscience® for the journey of the early years in Boulder, Co.
The plan changes. Nurture is still yours.
Maybe the plan went sideways. Maybe feeding is harder than anyone told you and sleep has become your biggest kept secret. Perfect nurture is not required to build lifelong mental health and resilience in your little one. What matters is showing up again and again, to be present and to repair.
good enough, over and over.
how we can support you…
Care for every stretch on the path
Perinatal Therapy
Perinatal Therapy is offered to mamas supporting the transformational journey and to recognize insight, potential and practical tools during motherhood.
Child Therapy & Parent Coaching
Through Early Childhood Therapy, we help young children and their parents explore their feelings and strengthen their connection in a nurturing space.
Mother Circles
Our Mother Support & Nurture Neuroscience® Circles are for those who are pregnant and mothers and their babies (birth-12 months), offering a soft place to land during the tender, transformative season of early motherhood.
We are welcoming new clients at this time.
Here, nurture feels natural.
You do not need to become a different parent. The capacity to nurture is already wired into you.
How? When you feel steady, held, and supported, your calm becomes something your child can borrow. Whether they are newborn, newly toddling, or eight years old and sorting out a hard day at school, their growing brain is built through thousands of small, ordinary moments of connection: a gaze returned, a cry answered, a slow breath together, a big feeling met without turning away. That is not a technique to master. It is biology you were born with.
Our work together simply helps you clear the noise, tend your own nervous system, support your child and trust what has been in you, and in your family, all along.
You were made for this.
Hi, I'm Lara
MA, ATR-BC, LPCC, IMH-E · board certified art therapist · infant & maternal mental health therapist · Nurture Neuroscience® trainee
I believe every parent arrives already carrying what their child needs most: themselves. My work weaves expressive arts, infant and childhood mental health, and the neuroscience of nurture into support that is warm, practical, and never about being perfect.
Whether we meet in the therapy room, in a circle of mamas, or out under the Colorado sky, my hope is the same: that you leave feeling steadier, softer with yourself, and more connected to your little one.
We’re so glad you are here.
