Life Can Feel Overwhelming,
And You Don’t Have To Face It Alone

I’m here to help you navigate life without losing yourself in the chaos. Whether you’re navigating pregnancy or postpartum, battling anxiety, working through relationship stress, or about to embrace a big life transition, I’ll meet you where you’re at and help you find steadiness and support during this season.

It’s Time To Feel Like You Again

I’m Koalani Lahr, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California with over 15 years of experience. I specialize in pregnancy and postpartum challenges, parenting triggers, anxiety, and stress management. My work is grounded in evidence-based approaches such as Mindful Self-Compassion, Somatic Therapy, EMDR, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

I earned my master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of San Diego, where I completed my clinical training in a children’s outpatient psychiatry setting, building a strong foundation in child development. For seven years, I had the privilege of supporting individuals and couples in the military navigate pregnancy and early parenthood, including those who had struggled with infertility, difficult pregnancies, or intrusive postpartum thoughts, as well as the challenges of returning to work or raising multiple children.

I bring connection, safety, and understanding into the therapeutic space to give my clients a place where they can slow down and reconnect with themselves.
