LMFT, 18 years of experience
Hello, thank you for taking interest in me. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and have been practicing as a clinician since 2007. Our therapeutic relationship is what will make your therapy journey more successful, therefore building a meaningful therapeutic relationship is at the heart of my approach. It takes courage to acknowledge you need help, especially if you feel stuck in feelings of anxiety, depression or unhealthy coping patterns.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing and what brings you into therapy in order to complete initial assessment. We will then collaborate on treatment planning that align with your goal and expectations of therapy for us to work through in follow-up sessions. Sessions are only telehealth- video or by phone.
My goal is to educate and create a greater sense of understanding the purpose of emotions. I will provide support in recognizing and replacing unhealthy patterns of relating and beliefs with more realistic and effective thoughts, thus decreasing emotional distress and self-defeating behaviors. I feel it is important to share that counseling can be pursued not only to handle problems, but also to find more meaning in life, feel more connected to others and our surroundings, and to increase the joy of being alive!
Whether you're dealing with stress, trauma, relationship issues or cycles of anxiety and depression, I'm here to help. Seeking therapy can feel scary but you're making the right choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow.
Use positive psychology includes topics like character strengths, optimism, life satisfaction, happiness, wellbeing, gratitude, compassion/self-compassion, self-esteem and self-confidence, hope, and elevation.

It's kind of hard to only be able to pick 2 options from up above. Because in all honesty, Lorena offers all of the above qualities in her care. Lorena is one of the best therapists that I have ever had in my 42 years of life. And I've had my fair share of different one's since the age of nine. Lorena has been my therapist for over a year now, and I couldn't have picked a better therapist! She is pretty Awesome!
