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.

There are many transitions in life. Sometimes we need help navigating those transitions. My favorite quote is , "Where there is a Will there is a Way." Taking the first step with attending therapy just takes Will to find your Way. I profoundly believe in forming a strong therapeutic relationship and hope to utilize various theoretical skills to meet the unique needs of each client and their family. I enjoy working with children, adults, couples and families from all stages in life.

While I consider myself to be diverse in the populations I work with, I have a particular interest in working with individuals experiencing trauma, grief, difficulties with emotional regulation, and relationship issues. When trauma presents alongside loss, it can be complicated and confusing to sort through. It is my priority to ensure that your story be witnessed through a lens of compassion, curiosity, and fairness. It is my personal mission to create a non-judge mental and inviting space for every person that is looking to heal, and I believe this is accomplished primarily through creating a strong therapeutic relationship.

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.

When you are feeling stressed and overwhelmed it can be difficult to find the courage to seek therapeutic support. My hope is that through our sessions you will be able to find peace in the chaos of life. I believe our struggles teach us to center our attention around a part of us that needs to grow. I can help you create this change and manage the feelings that come with this rewarding work. In our sessions you can expect a casual comfort with me and hopefully some laughs as we make our way through this process together.

You’re a therapist or helping professional who appears capable and put-together on the outside—but inside you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself. You may struggle with chronic self-criticism, perfectionism, or a sense that you’re always in survival mode. Even though you understand the language of mental health, something still feels unresolved. You don’t want quick fixes or surface-level coping strategies—you want to get to the root of what’s keeping you stuck.

My journey to being a therapist began working in residential mental health treatment. Then I began doing crisis work with youth and ARMHS work before moving into full-time therapy. My education has given me a well-rounded background that has been integral in my work as a therapist. Before obtaining my master’s degree in clinical counseling, my undergraduate education focused on criminal justice (victimology emphasis), psychology, and writing.
I have had the privilege of supporting individuals of all ages with anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem, stress, phase of life transitions, and many more challenges.

Whatever experiences life has brought our way, we continue towards wholeness and healing. Our inner drive is towards wholeness. Within a trusting therapeutic relationship we can nurture the part of us that allows us to heal, make better decisions and achieve the goals we desire. I really believe in the power that we all have to heal, make sense of our lives, and move towards the kind of life we would like.

You might be feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. Maybe you’re longing for closeness or healing within your relationship, or you’re carrying pain from the past that still feels too heavy. Whatever brought you here, know this: you don’t have to face it alone.
I work with individuals who want to understand themselves, their emotions, and how they connect with others, on a deeper level. Together, we’ll slow things down, get curious about what’s really happening beneath the surface, and create space for new ways of relating, both to yourself and to those you love.

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.
