Hi there, I’m Lory. Do you feel like conflicts keep repeating in your family or your relationships, no matter what you try? Are you a parent struggling to connect with your child or set healthy boundaries? Does your teen feel misunderstood, withdrawn, or frustrated in their relationships with friends or family? Or maybe your child is having a hard time expressing their emotions and navigating friendships? If so, you’re not alone and you don’t have to navigate it alone either. I help families, parents, and children ages 5–18 heal from past hurts, improve communication, and strengthen relationships.

My personal life experiences make me deeply empathetic, and I feel honored to walk alongside families as they navigate life’s challenges. I aim to create a warm, safe, and nonjudgmental space where children, teens, and parents can feel heard, understood, and supported.

For individuals who value faith, I also integrate Christian principles and spiritual guidance into therapy, helping your grow emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. Every family deserves peace, understanding, and stronger bonds and I would be honored to support yours on that journey.

I believe the connection you have with your therapist is one of the most important factors in healing. With that in mind, I take an integrative approach, drawing from trauma-informed care, attachment theory, and evidence-based modalities. I primarily use trauma-focused therapy, and a person-centered approach to help clients process childhood trauma, improve relationships, and build healthier boundaries.

My clients should expect to feel supported and empowered after a session with me. Some conversations are more difficult than others but I work diligently to create an environment where my clients feel safe and secure. I prioritize equipping my clients with the tools and strategies to make sense of their lived experiences while making sure they don't feel alone. Healing is a collaborative endeavor that requires honesty and caring without judgment.
