Hey there- my name is Lori and I love to listen and help people feel more hopeful about life. Life can get overwhelming and I think we have all experienced days where we feel like we are drowning. My goal is to grab your hand and stop you from going under- I want to help you feel heard, understood and empowered to change your life, understand yourself better, deal with stress and be happy. Life is too short not to find our way to happiness and if no one told you today- you deserve to be happy. It’s never too late to change, to learn, to grow, to be who you were meant to be. It’s never too late to figure out what makes you happy and go after it. Thoreau said “Most men lead lives of quiet desperation”- don’t be resigned to that.

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

I always call the first session “diving into the deep end”- I will have a bunch of questions for you- be ready to talk your head off, lol. I want to hear EVERYTHING- the good, the bad and everything in the middle. In order to help you, I need to know and understand you. The first session will be all about you- who you are, where you are at, and how I can help. (And don’t worry- I have heard it all- you can share anything with me with absolutely no fear of judgement or criticism)

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

My empathy is and will always be my greatest strength. However, I also excel at breaking big problems into manageable steps to help you achieve goals and achieve the change you need- one small step at a time. I also excel at providing a judgement free therapeutic setting where you can feel safe, set down your burdens and just be you. Everyone needs and deserves a safe place to feel heard and understood.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

You are someone who feels lost and alone at times…and sometimes you feel very overwhelmed and are just struggling to keep your head above water. I hear you - I have been you -and I can help. Take a chance, let me listen and be part of team YOU. This is going to sound super cheesy but if you are ready to invest in yourself, spend time and energy on your growth and happiness - I want to help. We spend too many days of our lives unhappy, tired, sad, dejected- It’s time, isn’t it? Time to figure out how to make your life what you want it to be. Let’s make 2025 the year of YOU.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

CBT is all about connecting our thoughts to our behaviors and figuring out what’s dysfunctional and what’s working. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, give you daily homework to change what isn’t working for you and get you feeling better asap.

Psychoeducation

I have been in mental health for almost 20 years and will provide you with information on your diagnosis, symptom management, treatment modalities and anything else you want to know.

Compassion Focused

My main job as your therapist is to listen and understand and help you show yourself love and compassion.
