Well was created with the purpose of helping individuals, couples, and families grow independently and as a whole.  We realize that life has its challenges and can sometimes feel overwhelming and unrelenting, which may leave us feeling hopeless.  Other times life may have us feeling stuck and needing someone to walk along side us as we seek understanding.

I'm a relational trauma therapist and I specialize in helping overwhelmed adults untangle the stress, shame, and emotional intensity that often come with ADHD, autism, anxiety, and people-pleasing.
From the outside, you look completely put together and on-top of it: showing up for work, parenting, answering emails, doing “all the things.” But inside, you’re exhausted. You’re constantly overthinking, second-guessing, and running on fumes. You might wonder if ADHD or Autism is part of the picture or if you’re just burned out from juggling too much for too long. You don't have to struggle alone.

More than just a way to capture attention, the spelling of Inner Fōkus also carries a personal meaning to the founders. The name is a nod to the German heritage shared by both Dr. Lori and Dr. Patrick, since “fōkus” is the correct spelling of “focus” in German. Our heritage, culture, and environment can have great impacts in shaping who we are. Our name, Inner Fōkus, also serves as a prominent reminder of the importance to occasionally break from current patterns and try new things.

I help adults navigate depression, anxiety, trauma, stress, attachment injuries, relationships, and life transitions using a trauma‑informed, evidence‑based approach.
Many of the people I work with feel like they’ve been holding everything together on the outside while quietly falling apart on the inside. They’re carrying the weight of old experiences, navigating relationship stress, or feeling overwhelmed by emotions that seem too big to manage. They often feel stuck in patterns they can’t name or disconnected from themselves and the people they care about. My approach is warm, steady, and collaborative—focused on helping you understand your patterns and reconnect with yourself.

I consider therapy to be a sacred space in which we can learn how to trust and love ourselves, leading us to healthier relationships. It takes a lot of courage to examine our lives in an honest way and I respect those willing to do the work. Therapy can feel vulnerable and so it is important you feel safe in the process. My focus is to make sure you feel heard and understood. I like to share some laughter in the sessions as well. It is good to not take ourselves and life too seriously. We are all just trying to figure it out.

We can work on managing anxiety and stress, improving relationship patterns, navigating life transitions, and building routines that support your mental health.
Life doesn’t always fall apart but it can start to feel heavier, more overwhelming, or harder to manage than it used to. You might be going through a major life transition, feeling stuck in patterns that aren’t working, or noticing stress showing up in your relationships, sleep, or day-to-day life. I work with people who are used to handling things on their own, but have reached a point where what used to work isn’t enough. They may feel overwhelmed, burned out, or unsure how to move forward—but they’re ready for things to feel different.

Anxiety Therapists
When should I seek treatment for anxiety?
Everyone feels anxious at times, but when anxiety causes disruption to your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Such disruption can be mental, physical, or both: having fear dominate your thoughts, avoiding situations or objects that bring on feelings of anxiety, or experiencing shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness, or panic attacks. When these symptoms are recurrent and distressing, it may be time to talk to someone.

What are the most common types of treatment for anxiety?
Talk therapy, particularly cognitive behavioral therapy, is the most common treatment for anxiety. Studies have shown it is equally effective as medication. Other popular forms of therapy are popular, depending on a patient’s experience. Exposure therapy, for instance, can be useful for people dealing with fears and phobias, or who have experienced traumatic events. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy may be useful for patients who need help with emotion regulation. Anxiolytic medications, like benzodiazepines, can also help with calming a person enough to focus on the skills they’ve learned, and physical exercise has been shown to help symptoms of anxiety across the board.

How long does therapy for anxiety take to work?
The amount of time needed to alleviate symptoms depends on the severity of a person’s condition. Some therapies may take 5-20 weekly sessions to show results. Anti-depressant medications typically take two to four weeks before a benefit is felt. Anti-anxiety medications are felt typically within 20-30 minutes. Medications are best used to offer a patient a better headspace in which to work on techniques learned in therapy. Exercise, improved sleep habits, and meditation are effective, but takes weeks or months to show results.

How effective is treatment for anxiety?
Treatment for anxiety has been shown to be moderately to highly effective, according to a large body of psychology studies and analyses. For some people, treatment using CBT or exposure therapy alone is effective. Others respond best to a combination of medication and therapy.
