Hi there, I'm Lori! I'm glad you're here and taking the time to explore what your next steps might be. Reaching out for support is an important decision, and I want to personally Welcome YOU. My therapeutic approach is grounded in Attachment Theory and Trauma-Informed Care, recognizing how our relationships, experiences, and life events shape the way we view ourselves and connect with others. I believe healing occurs within a safe, trusting, and collaborative therapeutic relationship where clients feel supported while working together.
My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, empowered, and encouraged to create lasting change. Whether you are seeking guidance through a difficult season or striving for deeper fulfillment in your life and relationships, we can work together to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.
I take a warm, person-centered approach to therapy, meeting each client where they are with compassion, understanding, and respect. Together, we can explore challenges, build healthier coping skills, strengthen relationships, and work toward meaningful growth.
