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.

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.

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.

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.

Are you struggling with your mood, anxiety, or relationships, or consider yourself to be a perfectionist? Maybe you feel like you're drowning in everything that is expected of you or perhaps you're questioning whether you're really capable of a job you've worked so hard for. It might feel difficult to complete your day-to-day activities, or you’re simply struggling to function in any of your many roles. Your ability to work hard has gotten you this far, but now you’re stuck and the anxiety or drive that was once helpful and motivating, is no longer serving that purpose.

At Up North Therapy, I believe healing works best when people feel truly seen, heard, and safe to be themselves. Life up here can be quiet and beautiful—but it can also be isolating, overwhelming, and heavy in ways that are easy to carry alone for too long.

Together, we focus on building insight, emotional regulation, and confidence, while honoring your history and what has helped you survive so far. Whether you’re seeking support for yourself or your child, my goal is to help you feel more grounded and connected.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists
Who is DBT for?
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is designed for people who experience extreme emotional suffering because they lack the skills of emotion regulation and distress tolerance. The basic affliction can underlie a wide range of conditions, from borderline and other personality disorders to PTSD and treatment-resistant anxiety and depression. The therapy is helpful to those whose emotional reactivity is so intense it is disruptive to everyday functioning and leads to frequent crises.

Why do people need DBT?
The ability to regulate emotions is a core psychological skill that enables people to function in life and pay attention to the world outside themselves; it is consistently associated with well-being. DBT is designed to help people learn how to manage and regulate their emotions. Originally developed to treat people with borderline personality disorder whose extreme emotional suffering led to self-harming behavior and suicide attempts, the therapy is now applied to other conditions involving emotion dysregulation, particularly when other treatments have failed.

What happens in DBT?
Individuals meet weekly with their therapist to discuss their experiences relating to moods, behavior, and skills. Using checklists they maintain, they review emotional experiences and positive practices they engage in. The diaries help individuals discern what led up to a specific problem encountered, this is followed by discussion of the consequences of their actions. In addition, individuals may meet in class-like small groups to learn skills such as mindfulness, emotion regulation and distress tolerance.

How long does DBT last?
Because it is intended to establish long-lasting behavioral change among those with persistent problems, DBT is designed to last six months to a year. DBT includes both weekly sessions of individual therapy and weekly skills-training sessions conducted in small groups. Studies of DBT have documented improvement within a year of treatment, particularly in controlling self-harmful behavior; nevertheless, individuals may require therapy for several years.
