Counselor, MA, CAGS, LMHC

Welcome. I’m Glad You’ve Made it this far.

People come to see me because they’re in some kind of pain. They’re heart-broken, worried, frustrated or unsure of what to do next. They’re often overwhelmed and nearly worn out. They want to find a solution to a difficult personal or relationship problem. They want to feel better. Everyone I meet is trying their best. Good people can find themselves in seemingly hopeless situations.

Feeling badly about yourself and your circumstances is paralyzing. That’s the last thing you need! You need someone wise and compassionate that’s outside of your situation. Someone you can trust. You need new knowledge and a new way to look at things.

My first concern is to help you find some real hope. Our second task is to bring about actual change in your life. But I have a third goal for you. I want you to be happier than you were before things hit the fan. I may want more for you than you dared want for yourself.

You’ve been through hell. You might as well get something out of it. This is why people often stay or return after resolving their primary issue. They’ve made gains and learned they can have more from their relationships and their lives. It’s exciting! People with hope and renewed confidence can over come anything and thrive. But don’t worry about my third goal for you. Let’s just get you out of the pain.

“Our family went through an incredibly stressful time regarding children, relationships and finances. Lori’s compassionate listening, sharp insight, calm demeanor and truth telling were invaluable for all of us. We are extremely thankful we met Lori and couldn’t recommend her more highly!”
– “Joe”
“My first visit with Lori was such a good match I couldn’t wait to come back. Each session I would leave feeling more positive about myself and more at peace with all that was going on in my life. Lori always made me feel I was special and deserved to have happiness no matter what I felt about myself at the time of our sessions. Lori is kind and empathetic and a wonderful listener with true perspective and insight into anything we discussed. She helped me move forward and now I am truly in the best place I have ever been and I attribute much of that to her help and guidance. I recommend Lori very highly.”
– “Heather”
“I looked forward to my sessions with Lori every week. Lori creates an atmosphere that is very comfortable and makes it easier to talk about hard things. She helped me to navigate through my challenges. Together we delved deeper until and were able to discover the nature of my problems. To this day I tap into my prior sessions to problem solve. I am so grateful to her.”
– “Carolyn”
“Lori is always empathetic and compassionate. She is a great listener who always shares terrific, positive ideas on how to handle a variety of issues and situations. Lori has a way of making you feel extremely comfortable and safe at a time when you could easily feel the opposite. She gives you her undivided attention and focus and is successful at helping you see the big picture. Lori has a way of providing a realistic viewpoint that isn’t sugarcoated with suggestions or ideas that won’t work.”
– “Richard”
“It was such a relief to find a therapist who I felt so comfortable to open up and talk to. I know that it can be very difficult to find a good “match,” but within the first 10 minutes of talking with her I knew that this would be a perfect fit for me. Her thoughtful questions and calm personality helped me realize that there were other ways of looking at my situation. Facing what this life throws at you is sometimes overwhelming. It’s very comforting to know that Lori is there and that I didn’t have to feel alone. I would highly recommend her to anyone!”
– “Susan”
