Feeling stuck, alone, or overwhelmed? Life can be tough! Whether it’s anxiety, relationship struggles, past trauma, or simply feeling lost, it can feel like a heavy burden. But you’re not alone, and you’ve come to the right place. I’m here to support you, help you feel seen and understood, and work with you to find clarity and direction on your journey.

My Specialties

Individual Therapy for Adults

Life can feel overwhelming, especially when anxiety, trauma, or past wounds surface. Individual therapy offers a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore your experiences, reconnect with yourself, and begin healing—one step at a time, at your own pace.

Individual Therapy for Teens

(Ages 12-17)

Adolescence can be confusing and emotional. I support teens navigating anxiety, identity, relationships, and family dynamics in a space that’s safe, supportive, and relatable—helping them feel heard, understood, and empowered to grow.

Immigration Evaluations

I offer professional and compassionate psychological evaluations for immigration cases, including hardship waivers and other family-based petitions. As a Latin American therapist, I approach each story with cultural understanding, care, and respect for your journey.

Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)

Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is a trauma-focused, evidence-based approach that uses eye movements to help you process distressing memories quickly and effectively. Many clients experience relief in just a few sessions—without needing to relive the trauma.

Hi, I'm Lori.

I was raised in a family where service and empathy were woven into everyday life. My mom, a missionary, and my dad, a Sunday school teacher, taught me early on about the power of connection and the importance of showing up for others with kindness and presence. That spirit of curiosity and compassion led me to this path of wanting to understand people more deeply and help them find hope in the midst of struggle.
