Taking a patient-centered approach, I prioritize spending ample time with each individual, ensuring they never feel rushed during our sessions. Overall, my dedication to supporting and uplifting clients, paired with my clinical expertise and genuine care for their well-being, underpin my approach as a provider.

Lori has been exceptional in my journey as I navigate through my mental health. Speaking with her always provides clarity on what future steps I can take to ensure I am doing my very best to show up for myself. I can’t imagine doing this walk without her warm presence and high level of expertise. I don’t desire to work with anyone else.
