(she/her)
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Georgia and a National Certified Counselor with over 24 years experience in the field. I received my Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and Master's Degree in Professional Counseling from Georgia State University. I completed my internship in a private practice setting, and since that time, have worked in a variety of treatment settings including inpatient and outpatient treatment settings. I have experience working with conditions including stress, relationship challenges, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, substance use disorders, trauma, couples counseling and grief counseling.
I love to provide a warm and safe space for clients to share. In an initial session, I usually briefly explore a client's background, then begin to explore the issues that are currently causing challenges. I want to hear what each person is wanting out of therapy, then we discuss how we can reach those goals together.
I utilize a combination of evidence-based therapeutic modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Mindfulness practices.
I strive to build on a client's strengths to facilitate growth in their lives. I focus on building on a client's current abilities, teaching new skills, and empowering each person to become the best version of themselves.
I work with clients who want to address a multitude of topics including anxiety, depression, women's issues, difficulty in relationships, grief and loss, self-esteem, and stress.

I chose Lori for her experience in the areas of focus I need. We have only met once and I’m looking forward to further discussions.

I've really enjoyed exploring some of my patterns and struggles with Lori. She does a great job balancing the ability to listen and understand me while also challenging some of my expectations, though patterns, or feelings. Have definitely left every appointment with at least one ground breaking point that sticks with me - definitely recommend.

I enjoyed my first session and look forward to the next. I felt that Lori was very easy to talk to and the way she responded was comforting and beneficial. This is exactly what I could have hoped for with talk therapy!
