Please note: All sessions are conducted in ASL (American Sign Language) only. There is no verbal communication during appointments. Hi, I'm Loren. I'm a Deaf, licensed mental health counselor, licensed in three states — Arizona, Washington, and Missouri. I specialize in working with the Deaf, Hard of Hearing, DeafBlind, CODA/SODA (Children of Deaf Adults, or Spouse/Partners of Deaf Adults), and the interpreting community. As an Arizona native, I earned my Bachelor's degree in Psychology from the University of Arizona, then went on to complete my Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling at Gallaudet University. Over more than 15 years in the field, I've worked across community mental health, school counseling, hospital settings, and private practice - with children, teens, adults, and couples. I take a holistic approach centered on mind, body, and spirit, meeting you exactly where you are and working together to figure out your next steps toward feeling whole.
What you gain in therapy doesn't stop when our sessions end - it's something you carry with you for life as you work toward the goals and changes you're looking for. Booking your first appointment is already a sign that you're ready to invest in yourself and your growth.
As an intuitive person, I'm here to support you on your life's journey by offering tools and tips that might be beneficial to you. You are unique, whole, and complete - even if it's sometimes hard to acknowledge and fully embrace that about yourself. Perhaps you need extra support or creative tools to help you navigate where you're at right now. If you're seeking a holistic approach with an emphasis on spirituality, one that helps you release old energy and reconnect with yourself on your healing journey, you've come to the right place. You'll likely find me genuine and easy to talk to. I bring a calm, warm presence to sessions, so it's easier for you to open up about difficult things - my goal is to help you feel truly seen and understood.
Individual sessions are facilitated with you and me. This therapeutic relationship helps to promote change by creating a safe, trusting, non-judgmental, and nurturing environment in which to explore your concerns, identify your primary challenges, and create solutions. Individual sessions can focus on a variety of topics, including: recovery from addictions, managing stress, addressing grief and loss, dealing with depression, increasing your self-esteem, finding your personal power, building self-trust, and reducing anxiety. I use an eclectic approach to help my clients heal and discover their ability to live the life they strive for, including a blend of Cognitive Behavior Techniques (CBT), person-centered, and solution-focused approaches. By combining these counseling approaches with traditional talk therapy, tremendous inner self-empowerment and growth are made in individual sessions.

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.

She helps me go back and review events that affects my emotions and being able to process them out to release the tightness of my troubles and being able to let go of what I'm been feeling internally. She's warm and direct in our conversations :)

Loren was such a great therapist who easily made the environment calm and warm. I was a bit nervous at first and admitted that to her, and suddenly she had this shining smile with such a happy energy made my anxiety resolved. Loren knew ASL that made it so much easier to communicate as ASL is my first language. Previously, I had a couple of counselors who were hearing, but I couldn't exactly share some parts of me that were important to my life. Loren is great with metaphors, I love it!
