Thoughtful, flexible therapy

Your experience.
Your values.
Your way forward.

Therapy begins with understanding the person in the room. Lori draws on a range of therapeutic approaches, with space to discuss what feels relevant to your needs.

Care begins
with listening.

You bring a whole life into therapy.

Your relationships, beliefs, circumstances, and strengths all matter. Different approaches offer different ways to explore your experience. You can ask questions about any method and discuss your goals and preferences with Lori.

The descriptions below are general introductions to the approaches listed by the practice. They describe ways of working, rather than promises of a particular result.

A thought noticed. A connection explored. A little room for something new.
