Hello! My name is Lori. I am very happy and honored to potentially meet you. I am a Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, licensed in GA, NY, NV. With a diverse background in healthcare, I bring a wealth of experience and expertise to my practice. At the forefront of my services is a deep commitment to supporting individuals suffering with ADHD, PTSD, anxiety, mood disorders, and behavioral disturbances related to neurocognitive disorders. I also offer inclusive support to minorities, those who are marginalized, and members of the LGBTQ+ community. My arms are open to all walks of life - no matter what and who you are - or what you believe in. As a trauma survivor myself, I empathize with the feelings of being misunderstood and alone. Together, we can take meaningful steps to prioritize and protect your mental well-being. Investing in your mental health is a valuable pursuit, and you don’t have to navigate it alone. I firmly believe in the uniqueness of each individual and am dedicated to helping you achieve health and wholeness. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to mental health treatment. I take an inside-out approach, listening attentively to your goals and vision for optimal well-being. I embrace the rich diversity of our world, including the LGBTQ community, and I welcome everyone who feels marginalized or overlooked. Through a personalized and evidence-based treatment plan tailored to your needs, we can work together to enhance your quality of life. Rooted in the values of southern hospitality, kindness and authenticity are at the heart of my practice. My sincere wish is to see you thriving and happy - on your terms, with my guidance, support, and empathy.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

My therapeutic process begins with open-ended conversations that encourage you to express your thoughts and emotions freely. I believe that there is no one way to peel an onion; each layer reveals a different aspect of your experience. I emphasize autonomy, accountability and responsibility in your own healthcare - matched with our collaborative efforts.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I believe that every patient deserves to be heard and understood, regardless of their background. My approach is centered around empathy and active listening, creating a safe, non-judgmental environment where you can openly share your experiences. I offer a comprehensive evaluation, diagnosis, medication management, and supportive psycho education. In addition, I believe my sense of humor and ability to inject light-heartedness into sessions foster a comfortable and engaging therapeutic environment. I pride myself on being thorough and dedicated to educating clients so they can be the best version of themselves. 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.
