Through our time together, it's my sincere hope you will begin to experience the happiness and satisfaction that you are searching for in your life

I offer a calm and private environment to share your present road block or mountain to climb whether it be in relationship to others or part of your solo journey.

My focus is in providing clients an opportunity to create better connection with themselves and those around them. I work with both couples and individuals, taking part in their journey by providing a new perspective, asking the hard questions, and helping people understand the habitual patterns they get stuck in. My role is collaborative as we discuss sensitive topics that are hard to explore outside of therapy such as sex, gender, communication, addiction, intimacy and trauma. I welcome the opportunity to provide you with a safe and engaging environment to explore new ways of coping.

Yes, indeed, my first name is the same as my last name! Please just call me Lou. My undergraduate studies consisted of gender, race, and sexuality studies.

I am a weight-lifter, a tattoo collector, an avid painter, and a creative, playful individual.

Are you depressed, anxious, or overwhelmed by your feelings? Do you have "stuff" you need to deal with so you can find meaning and purpose in life again? Do your experiences as a child tend to leak into the present day? Have you experienced something traumatic or life-altering? Your childhood is the foundation of your life - sometimes we learn things as a kid about ourselves and the world that keeps us anxious, distant, or overwhelmed as adults. Together, we can learn a new way to fit into the world. We'll help your mind and body be calm so you can focus on what truly matters.
