Hi, I’m Loren. I am a Deaf counselor and am licensed in three different states: Arizona, Washington State, and Missouri. As an Arizona native, I graduated from the University of Arizona with Bachelor’s degree in psychology. I got my Master’s degree from Gallaudet University in mental health counseling. During over 10 years of experience in the counseling field, I have worked in community mental health, school counseling, hospitals, and private practice. I am experienced in working with children, teenagers, adults, and couples.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
The benefits and value you gain from therapy will not end at our last session – you can carry them with you for the rest of your life when you accomplish the goals and change you desire. When you book your appointment, I know you are dedicated to transforming your life because you’re willing to invest in yourself.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My clients tell me I am real and approachable. I have a calm and warm personality, which makes it easy to talk to me about anything. I have the ability to help my clients feel seen and understood.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Depression, anxiety, grief and loss, body image concerns, healthy relationships, addiction and personal identity are primary topics I treat. For today’s world, I also address such feelings as feeling sad and not knowing why; feeling not good enough; feeling like you are holding yourself back. Other things I also address in therapy are life transitions, relationship challenges, various life stressors, boundaries, as well as providing various coping strategies. My approach to counseling is person-centered, solution-focused, and provide cognitive behavior technique tools. My two beliefs in counseling are therapeutic rapport and confidentiality. I firmly believe in personal empowerment which can increase self-esteem and self-growth. Our thoughts affect the way we feel and the way we behave, whether it is positive or negative. If you put in the time, the effort, and the work during the therapy process, you will absolutely be transformed.
