  We realize that life has its challenges and can sometimes feel overwhelming and unrelenting, which may leave us feeling hopeless.
We believe therapy ought to be a place of vulnerability, acceptance, growth, and a process of discovering who we are.  As therapists we recognize each person as an individual with their own story, beliefs, and obstacles, and our intention is to both see you in this light and guide you through this experience.

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 am dedicated to guiding clients through trauma and losses that obscure life's beauty.
I understand delving into one's psyche can be daunting, revealing gaps between who we are and who we strive to be. Yet, I believe even small sparks of motivation can ignite profound transformations. Witnessing clients embrace this power inspires me deeply.

Many of my clients are going through life transitions, feeling emotionally overwhelmed, or noticing patterns that feel hard to change on their own.
I believe therapy should feel like a space where you can show up as you are. While I aim to be warm and supportive, I also gently challenge you when it feels helpful for your growth and goals.

I come here believing this: the relationship we have with ourselves is the center of how we show up in the world and experience all aspects of life.
An internal family systems approach is used to help someone better understand all of who they are and why they might remain stuck in ways of thinking, feeling and reacting. When we learn to befriend all of who we are, we engage with ourselves, others, and the world in a more compassionate, curious and confident way. I will teach you how to do this!

Life Coaching Therapists
What can I expect from life coaching?
Clients and coaches will typically start by identifying the problem area(s) that the client hopes to address—then, the coach will help the client brainstorm potential solutions and explore concrete techniques to help the client attain their goals. Coaching is typically short-term and focused on finding solutions in the here and now, rather than exploring a client’s past. In addition to strategies aimed at the client’s specific concerns, coaches may encourage general stress management techniques such as meditation.

Can a life coach help treat anxiety?
Because the majority of life coaches are not licensed clinicians, they are not qualified to diagnose or treat anxiety. Anyone struggling with anxiety or another mental health condition should seek help from a licensed mental health practitioner. However, some coaching clients who struggle with subclinical anxiety report that working with their coach on other problems—such as career dissatisfaction or unhealthy habits—has a positive effect on their anxiety.

Can life coaching be done online?
Yes. While life coaching often happens in person, many coaches conduct sessions over the phone or via online platforms such as Zoom or Skype. Because life coaches are not subject to local licensing regulations in the same way that therapists are, they are able to see clients who live in other locations.

How long does life coaching last?
Life coaching tends to be a shorter-term process than therapy, though it does not always unfold over a specific period of time and is instead based on the coach’s or the client’s preferences. Coaching often takes place over three to 12 months but may be shorter or longer if necessary.
