Many times, there are underlying issues that are not addressed such as ADHD, OCD, trauma, or other issues.
We work with Neurodivergent folks guiding them with issues related to executive dysfunction IE: can't get started on a task, stay on track, or get things done. Research indicates that ADHD is underdiagnosed in women, and I personally suffered from anxiety and depression for years, only to find that these were merely symptoms of ADHD.

I specialize in trauma-informed therapy, EDMR, adolescent distress, attachment issues, couple's work, adoption, mood disorders, family dynamics, grief, relationships, parenting skills, anxiety, depression, women’s issues, spirituality, emotional regulation, and other life stressors.
I am always grateful for the opportunity to share in the stories of people’s lives and help them identify the goals they wish to achieve to create the next chapters of their lives. I love working with people across all ages who are motivated to do introspection and identify new ways to think about themselves and their future. I believe our sense of belonging and connectedness affects the stories we live by.

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.

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'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.

I have felt honored to serve individuals (teens/adult men/adult women) and families (specifically children and parents from birth-5, adoptive/foster caregivers, families working with county based services, or grandparents raising grandchildren) who are experiencing or have experienced traumas that have left them with feelings of attachment disconnect in relationships, struggles with their sense of identity, worth, value or self compassion, difficult/painful life transitions, or the isolation/loneliness that can come with that awful question we sometimes hear our brain ask our hearts: is it just me?
Part of my therapeutic approach is to engage with you from a side by side perspective instead of an 'expert-client' hierarchy. By building a relationship this way, we can, together, as partners, find understanding in how some of our painful histories or everyday struggles can be reframed and utilized as new tools to challenge old narratives.

I primarily assist in treating anxiety disorders, depression, and trauma using EMDR.
You really can have a life of abundance, peace, and joy! Starting therapy can be difficult, as some people are afraid that they won't be able to experience a real connection with their therapist. I can promise you that I am as genuine as it gets! We will work together to achieve whatever goals you want in life while enjoying the process as much as possible and experiencing yourself in new ways. Calling a therapist can be intimidating, but I hope you will take a moment (and maybe a deep breath) to call and see how I can help.

Trauma and PTSD Therapists
When should I seek treatment for trauma?
Not everyone who undergoes trauma needs therapy to heal, but many do. If, after experiencing a traumatic event, you find yourself struggling with symptoms such as nightmares, dissociation, irritability, or emotional numbness—especially if these symptoms last more than a month and are severe enough to interfere with your daily functioning—you may benefit from seeking out therapy with a trauma-informed provider.

How long does trauma therapy take?
Different types of therapy for trauma unfold on different timelines. Prolonged exposure therapy and cognitive processing therapy, for example, each take about three months, while trauma-informed CBT may last anywhere from 8 to 25 sessions. Other approaches, especially those that are less structured or that incorporate elements from multiple modalities, may be more open-ended, though many patients report feeling better within the first few months of treatment.

What happens if trauma is left untreated?
Unaddressed trauma can have serious—even devastating—effects on relationships, career, and day-to-day functioning. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can lead people to distrust or lash out at others, making it difficult to maintain intimate relationships; it can also trigger symptoms such as flashbacks or hyperreactivity that can interfere with a person’s ability to function effectively, personally and/or professionally. Some sufferers turn to drugs to find relief. Symptoms may lessen on their own with time, but there is no guarantee that PTSD will resolve on its own.

Can PTSD come back after treatment?
It is possible for PTSD symptoms to recur months or years after successful treatment. This is because, like most mental health disorders, it is not possible to “cure” PTSD, and stressful life events may cause symptoms to recur in even the most resilient individuals. There is no shame in re-experiencing PTSD symptoms nor in returning to therapy when such relapses occur; indeed, many forms of trauma therapy explicitly encourage periodic “maintenance sessions” to reinforce coping skills and ensure that symptoms stay manageable.
