Hi there, I'm Lori!

I'm glad you're here and taking the time to explore what your next steps might be. Reaching out for support is an important decision, and I want to personally WELCOME YOU.

My focus

Are you feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you? Do you long for healthier relationships, greater self-confidence, or a stronger sense of peace in your daily life? Whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, or personal growth, you do not have to face it alone.

My approach

My therapeutic approach is grounded in Attachment Theory and Trauma-Informed Care, recognizing how our relationships, experiences, and life events shape the way we view ourselves and connect with others. I believe healing occurs within a safe, trusting, and collaborative therapeutic relationship where clients feel supported while working together.
