Welcome! My name is Lories and I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) located in California. I have been practicing for 8 years. I focus on helping the person get the life they want to have. I am part of a blended family and have a new infant in the home. I have worked with a wide range of people as young as two years old to over 65. I want my clients to learn to advocate for themselves.
In our first session, we'll start with brief introductions. I will normalize the feeling that talking to a stranger is weird, because, lets admit it, its not as normal thing. In the first session, I will be asking questions that will give me a snapshot of you, your life and dive into what brings you in today. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
I have a direct approach that is met with warmth and compassion.
My ideal client or clients to work with is person, couple or family who is looking for non judgmental support and guidance. I can support them with enhancing communication and understanding with one another. I support my clients gain further insight. Whether it be your first time in therapy or you’ve been around the block, it can still feel pretty overwhelming to start this process.
Other specialties
I identify as
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
I have been working with ACT to support clients understand what is important in their life and moe towards the life they want.
Exposure Response Prevention (ERP)
ERP is great for any person in therapy or not in therapy. With gradual repetitive exposure, the sky is the limit!
Couples Counseling
Working on communication will be done in a safe, fair environment.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have been using CBT for years which is a great foundation when you are new to therapy.
Family Therapy
Family therapy is unique because it can feel like more than one person wants to attend therapy, and it can be so beneficial when more than one family member attends therapy.
