You may be very good at holding things together, but overthink, feel anxious, or have other reactions you don’t understand.
Sometimes you wonder if something’s wrong with you. You’ve tried other therapies and you’re still searching.
The answer isn’t what’s wrong with you—it’s in what happened to you, what didn’t happen, and how your mind and body survived.
Patterns that once protected you might be making life harder for you now.
I offer focused, short-term therapy for anxiety, depression, stress-related physical symptoms, and the lasting effects of difficult or traumatic experiences.

Enough
You are Enough
Therapy is never based on what’s wrong with you.
We look at ways you learned to cope that are no longer helping you, understand how they’re playing out, and discover the gifts and strengths in each of them.
Trauma-informed therapy is a whole-person approach tailored to your goals and pace.
“I wish I had done this years earlier. How I am makes so much sense now and I can finally let go of so much I was carrying by myself.” — Janeen S.
“I think it was just Dr. Lapp’s presence that was so warm and encouraging that made it feel safe to face what I’d been running away from for so long.” — Kendra M.
“She was really direct and to the point, and cut through the BS to what’s really happening but she did it in a really kind way that wasn’t a put-off, it was awesome.” — Steven W.

“It’s about freeing you—from shame, from mislabeling, from the exhausting performance of normality so many of us have rehearsed our entire lives.
You may have been told you were lazy, weird, crazy, dramatic, messy, too much, or not enough.
You may have learned to keep your hands folded, your mouth shut, and your feelings buried.
Maybe you grew up adapting brilliantly to impossible conditions—by shutting down, snapping shut, or armoring up. Many of us did. We were creative children who became strategic adults, quietly compensating for what no one helped us name.
But we were never broken. And being ‘wired different’ was never a flaw.”
from the forthcoming book: Wired Different (2027)
