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 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 together, here's what you can expect
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.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I have a direct approach that is met with warmth and compassion.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I love working with individuals who feeling challenged or stuck in their life and desiring to make changes, but may feel stuck. My clients are eager to improve, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed and doubt themselves.
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.
