Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Your first session focuses on getting to know you and understanding what brings you in. We’ll talk through your goals, your history, and any immediate concerns so I can get a clear picture of how to support you. I’ll explain how therapy works, answer any questions, and together we’ll decide on a direction that feels comfortable and helpful. By the end, you’ll have a sense of what our work will look like and the next steps moving forward.

My treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in my practice because it offers clients practical, evidence‑based tools to understand and shift the patterns that keep them feeling stuck. CBT helps make the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors clearer, allowing clients to build insight while also learning skills they can use in daily life.
Motivational Interviewing
I use Motivational Interviewing in my daily therapy work because it supports clients in exploring their own motivations for change, honors their autonomy, and helps them move toward goals in a way that feels authentic and self‑directed.
Trauma Informed Care
I use trauma‑informed care in my therapy practice because it creates a safe, empowering environment where clients feel understood, respected, and in control of their healing. Trauma‑informed care helps me recognize the impact of past experiences, avoid re‑traumatization, and support clients with compassion, collaboration, and choice. Lora is trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), a trauma‑focused, evidence‑based modality that uses eye movements and imagery to help clients reduce symptoms quickly and safely.
