A bit about my approach to therapy

“YOU are the boss” is among one of the many phrases you will hear me say in our work together. You are the expert in your life. I work WITH you. We explore and process, problem solve and identify changes to facilitate what you are hoping to achieve in therapy.

What you can expect from our first session

You can expect to feel seen, heard, valued, hopeful, understood and a a sense of relief when we work together.

Lorena's style is

Open-minded
Warm
Empowering
