I am honored to work with people feeling heartache inside the constraints of our modern world. Through conditioning + relational wounding, we temporarily lose touch with the deep, innate wisdom of our souls + bodies. Life can feel chaotic and daunting - we question ourselves and even feel dead inside. If you long to experience belonging as your true self, I’m here to guide you back to safety in relationship with yourself, your body and others. I was brought to this sacred work through my personal experience of rising above trauma. I’m devoted to helping others out of the depths of struggle and into fulfillment and connection.

Attachment-based couples therapy integrating Gottman, PACT, IFIO & RLT. If you & your partner are navigating blended family complexity, remarriage, co-parenting dynamics, or a major life transition, your relationship deserves specialized, thoughtful care. You may love each other deeply, yet feel caught in painful cycles of reactivity, distance, or misalignment. Perhaps stepfamily stress, shifting roles, or unresolved attachment wounds are quietly shaping your connection. I work with committed, growth-oriented couples who want more than conflict management, they want emotional security, clarity, & partnership that feels intentional.

Hey I’m Lor (he/him) and I’m a neurodivergent, queer therapist!
I’m here to give you what you need, be that an empathetic supporter in your corner or developing tangible tools to improve things such as emotional regulation and communication. I don’t utilize a one size fits all approach, and instead want to tailor therapy to the unique circumstances and goals of the person in front of me.

I specialize in bringing together evidence-based and integrative approaches to trauma, OCD, anxiety disorders, and depression. I am a pragmatic therapist; my goals are my client’s goals and their thriving, and therefore, I tailor my approach to what is most effective for each client. As part of this integrative approach, I initially focus on deeply understanding my clients' experiences, struggles, and values. I believe that therapy should be highly personalized, with the focus not solely on the client’s struggle but on helping clients thrive, so that they feel seen as whole people.

Welcome.
I'm a therapist, author, and poet. I approach healing through a relational framework focusing on existential, spiritual, and creativity wounds. I often weave writing and poetry as contemplative practices to cultivate intimacy and belonging. In our time together we'll work on re-orienting towards life with a mindful attitude centered on attention, awareness, acceptance, and awe. At the heart of our work together is the invitation to question your narratives and meet yourself as you are. My role is to walk alongside you in support and encouragement of your becoming.

Those struggles are real and I want to work with you on building the life you want and deserve. I will work with you on creating a life that brings you meaning and purpose.

I work with youth (ages 6+) and adults. Though my background is in mental health therapy, my practice currently is solely for psychological testing. For children, learning and psychological struggles have a profound impact on their academic success, peer relationships, and overall wellbeing. Similarly for adults, struggling with how you best learn and focus can make it difficult to reach your personal and professional goals. I offer testing for both learning support and clarifying psychological diagnoses. If you have always wondered whether you or your child thinks and learns differently, reach out today for support!

Your thoughts are racing-examining what you did, or could have done, wondering if you are over-thinking the situation. You try to pretend everything is okay but deep down there is a nagging feeling that something is off. So you work on doing all of the right things, trying to fix yourself, trying to improve, but the feeling inside doesn't change. You may even over-perform in attempt to prove to yourself and the world that you are worthy. But the feeling lingers. Many of my clients have had similar struggles with anxiety, perfectionism, self-doubt, trauma histories, or difficulty feeling comfortable in relationships.

Welcome. I want to understand why you’re here, who you are in this world, and what living means to you. How might it feel to reflect upon your childhood, your first relationships in life, the relationships you've had throughout your life, your biggest challenges, your greatest successes... how have these experiences made you the human you are today? You are the expert of your own life, and I’m here to learn about you. The outcome of our work together depends on what you bring in and how deep you want to dive into yourself.

Adaptive somatic psychotherapy for multicultural, LGBTQIA+ folks, and creatives to heal from past traumas, learn healthy patterns in relationship, manage chronic illness & pain, and thrive despite day-to-day stressors.

Do LGBTQ-affirmative therapists receive special training?
Yes. Many therapists who practice LGBTQ-affirmative therapy have completed specialized training, either during their degree program or as continuing education, to learn the core principles of affirmative therapy and how to best support their LGBTQ clients; some have received certifications in LGBTQ-affirmative therapy. Prospective clients should inquire as to a clinician’s background and training to ensure a good fit.
Why might I want to see an LGBTQ-affirming or LGBTQ-friendly therapist?
Queer and gender-non-conforming individuals frequently experience bias and marginalization in day-to-day life. Working with a therapist who understands these unique challenges, as well as accepts and affirms their identity, can help LGBTQ clients feel safe and supported during therapy—allowing them to better navigate their relationships, mental health, and anything else that they wish to explore during therapy. It is important to note that many therapists can be effective in their work with LGBTQ+ individuals, even in the absence of specific training or background knowledge. The most important component in therapy is the alliance between therapist and client, and this alliance can exist between individuals with very different backgrounds.
How can I find an LGBTQ-friendly therapist?
You may wish to inquire about a therapist’s expertise with your specific challenges or concerns—depression, for example, or relationship strife—as well as their past experiences treating LGBTQ+ clients. Prospective clients may also ask whether a therapist has obtained additional training and/or certification in LGBTQ-affirmative techniques.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience with LGBTQ issues?
Prospective clients should feel empowered to directly ask therapists whether they have received training or been certified in LGBTQ-affirming therapy; competent therapists will be happy to explain their educational background and preferred approach(es) to help a client find the best match for them. Clients may also wish to ask how a therapist has treated clients with their particular challenges in the past and what they expect treatment to look like.
Are all the therapists listed in the LGBTQ directory themselves members of the LGBTQ community?
While therapists may choose to disclose their sexual orientation or gender identity in their profiles, the LGBTQ directory features not only those who have shared this information but also those who assert specialized training or experience in providing support to queer individuals, couples or families.
