About me

Therapy is my passion! I absolutely love to watch my clients grow and change before my eyes. Hi, I’m Lois, Mother of 3 amazing boys, business owner and lover of life. I have learned so much through my years of working with clients individually, in groups and with families and couples. What I have learned is that as humans we are resilient! We have been given this life to have joy and life lessons. I have been honored to guide and encourage many clients over the last 20 years. It is my life purpose to help others especially when they cannot see the abundance and joy that is around us. I use many different modalities to guide clients on their journey. One of my main modalities is EMDR. Recently I completed the Internal Family Systems (IFS) training which is also a very effective healing modality. I'm always excited to learn new techniques and offer a variety of modalities to assist my clients in their healing journey. I also use short-term solution-focused therapy, CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness and Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) among others to bring about change. I truly believe as a therapist I must do my own work, for I cannot take you to a place that I have not visited. I have done many years of my own therapy, attended healing retreats, participated in group therapy and attended 12 step meetings, writing and more recently I became certified as a Kundalini Yoga teacher. My main goal for the Kundalini teacher training was to deepen my practice, to understand myself and others on a deeper level and to inspire others to use self care, chanting and meditation to create healing physically, spiritually and mentally. My specialties include trauma and I have extensive experience and training in childhood to adulthood trauma. I’m also experienced in grief counseling while working at Hospice and received excellent training in the field of death and dying. I continue to work with couples with various issues around trust, infidelity, communication and parenting. I enjoy and work with young adults who are working on discovering their gifts and realizing their dreams and goals, but are feeling stuck and confused. I love challenging my clients about their blocking beliefs and the “parts” that hold them back so that they can realize their unique and abundant potential. As a result of trauma and negative experiences, many clients have experienced depression and anxiety. I welcome the opportunity to provide tools and delve into the reasons for these issues and find a positive solution, quickly. I have experience in and continue to work with those addicted to substances, technology and other addictive disorders. I have experience in 12 step programs and encourage clients to find support in recovery and have resources to help the addicted client and their families.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

I am goal-oriented and solution-focused so I focus on exploring your trauma, depression and anxiety or relationship issues to get a better understanding of your challenges. I then encourage you to use the coping tools, to increase your productivity, happiness and health. Our sessions focus on working through the feelings that are trapped so that you can have the freedom to live the life you are destined for!

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My specialty is trauma. I believe we all experience trauma, no matter how long ago. Some of my clients have experienced bullying and they have suffered with low self-esteem as a result. Some have experienced parents who were well-meaning but too busy. Unfortunately, some clients have experienced more severe traumatic events and EMDR is the perfect modality to decrease symptoms and help you to see that there is hope.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

Trauma, grief, relationship issues, depression, anxiety, low self esteem.
