Hi, I’m a therapist who brings both clinical expertise and genuine care to help you feel seen, heard, and supported. I hold a B.A. in Psychology from the University of North Florida and a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from Nova Southeastern University. My passion lies in supporting individuals through life’s toughest seasons, whether it's navigating grief, managing anxiety or depression, adjusting to major life changes, or finding your footing in the postpartum journey. I believe therapy should feel like a conversation with someone who truly gets you. Together, we’ll create a plan that meets you where you are and helps you move forward with confidence. Reach out anytime, I'm here when you're ready.

Hi there, I’m Lory. Are you constantly second-guessing yourself in relationships? Do you feel like you’re repeating the same painful cycles, no matter how hard you try to break them? Are childhood wounds or past experiences still affecting how you show up for yourself and others? If so, you’re not alone and you don’t have to navigate it alone either. I help Gen Z and millennial women heal from childhood trauma and relationship struggles so they can experience emotional clarity, healthier connections, and lasting growth. My personal life experiences make me deeply empathetic, and I feel honored to walk alongside people in their healing journeys. My goal as your therapist is to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where we can explore your challenges together, learn new ways to cope, set realistic goals, and build on your strengths. And if faith is important to you, I’m happy to incorporate Christian principles and spiritual guidance into our work—helping you grow emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. You deserve to live a healthier, more peaceful life and I’d be honored to support you on that path.

Hello potential client! You are hurting in some way if you are here reading this. Maybe you feel like you are getting more and more stressed out and just one more stressor would be too much for you to handle. Maybe you worry all the time about everything and can't stop. Maybe you are sad all the time and don't enjoy doing things that used to be fun. Maybe you are feeling helpless or hopeless about what to do. Maybe you have been through a traumatic experience or are grieving. Maybe you are thinking the way you have been using substances is causing you problems. You have tried your best to help yourself but nothing has worked the way you hoped it would. You don't know what to do but you do know you can't keep going the way you have been. This is where I come in! I help people who are ready to change for the better! My heart is for helping hurting people and I strive to treat all of my clients with the compassion and respect I believe they deserve. The most important part of positive change in a therapeutic relationship depends on just that - the relationship between the therapist and the client. I also use a variety of resources to help my clients. These include evidence-based types of therapy, worksheets and measurements. I also offer Christian counseling to those who are interested and am also happy to work with people of other spiritual beliefs. I offer free consultation calls so we can both decide if working together would be a good fit for both of us. I look forward to hearing from you if I sound like I would be your kind of therapist!

Painful experiences often lead us to build defenses to protect ourselves from overwhelming emotions. These defenses can take many forms perfectionism, escapism, anger toward loved ones, or becoming involved in unhealthy relationships. While they may offer temporary relief, they ultimately disconnect us from ourselves and others, often resulting in feelings of loneliness, shame, anxiety, and depression. I’m passionate about helping people strengthen their self-worth and process traumatic experiences that create harmful patterns and a sense of insecurity. I believe that although wounding often happens in relationships, healing also occurs through connection. With courage and a willingness to face uncomfortable truths, meaningful and lasting change is possible. Healing can happen—and there is always hope.

Life isn’t easy—especially when you’ve always been the strong one others lean on. You may be the person who keeps everything together at work, in your family, or for your friends, but inside you’re carrying anxiety, exhaustion, or unhealed wounds that no one else sees.

You Deserve Healing You may have lived through experiences that changed everything—leaving you to question your safety, your worth, and even who you are. I want you to know this: you are not broken. What happened to you is not your fault. And you don’t have to carry it alone anymore. I am a trauma-trained therapist specializing in deep, complex trauma healing. Many of my clients are survivors of abuse, neglect, manipulation, or abandonment—people who grew up in homes where safety wasn’t guaranteed, where love came with conditions, or where siblings were pitted against each other. Others have experienced tragedy, sudden loss, or carry memories so painful they’ve struggled to name them. I also support first responders, healthcare professionals, military personnel, and others whose roles have exposed them to trauma most people will never see. Additionally, I work with individuals impacted by generational and collective trauma, including historical violence and large-scale tragedies. Because my practice focuses specifically on trauma recovery, I may not be the best fit for every concern. I do not provide treatment for adult autism, personality disorders, anxiety-related disorders, ADHD, OCD, bipolar disorder, or other needs outside the scope of trauma-focused care. I also don’t provide services related to gender identity exploration or transition-related care, as these areas deserve specialized support from clinicians who focus on them. My goal is always to ensure you receive the care that truly meets your needs. In our work together, I’ll walk beside you at your pace, offering compassion, safety, and care. You are not alone on this journey. Healing is possible, and I’ll be here with you—every step of the way.
