Hi there, I’m Lory. Do you feel like conflicts keep repeating in your family or your relationships, no matter what you try? Are you a parent struggling to connect with your child or set healthy boundaries? Does your teen feel misunderstood, withdrawn, or frustrated in their relationships with friends or family? Or maybe your child is having a hard time expressing their emotions and navigating friendships? If so, you’re not alone and you don’t have to navigate it alone either. I help families, parents, and children ages 5–18 heal from past hurts, improve communication, and strengthen relationships. My personal life experiences make me deeply empathetic, and I feel honored to walk alongside families as they navigate life’s challenges. I aim to create a warm, safe, and nonjudgmental space where children, teens, and parents can feel heard, understood, and supported. For families who value faith, I also integrate Christian principles and spiritual guidance into therapy, helping your family grow emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. Every family deserves peace, understanding, and stronger bonds and I would be honored to support yours on that journey. I will begin seeing clients in person in Plantation, FL in April 2026.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session together, we will start with brief introductions, then dive into specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My greatest strength as a therapist is the ability to connect with my clients on a personal level. I am a great listener, empathetic, and patient, and my non-judgmental approach allows my clients to feel comfortable opening up to me.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I love working with individuals who are eager to improve their lives. Counseling can foster personal development in whatever way you may be seeking and help build the life you so deeply deserve. If that's what you're looking for, I'm here when you're ready to share.
Trauma Informed Care
In my practice, I use a trauma-informed care approach as the foundation for how I engage with clients. This means I prioritize creating a safe, supportive, and empowering environment that recognizes the widespread impact of trauma on mental health. I have experience working with individuals who have a history of complex trauma, including childhood emotional neglect, abuse, and relational wounds. Trauma-informed care allows me to take a compassionate, nonjudgmental stance while helping clients understand how their past experiences may shape current behaviors, emotions, and relationship patterns.
