About Lori

“The wound is the gift”

I truly believe this, though some days are harder than others. At times, the hardest periods of life lead to new knowledge, growth and experiences. I walk alongside you on that journey to the other side of loss, grief and healing the wounds, or learning to be more present with them. I strongly believe we have everything we need for healing. I use IFS and EMDR to help you be more in touch with yourself in the present moment and get unstuck when parts of you show up in ways that aren’t helpful. I see couples, mostly in person, and use IFIO (Intimacy from the Inside Out) to decrease conflict, miscommunication and disconnection and help you see one another in new ways that foster closeness and understanding.

I also like working with neurospicy adults as I appreciate the complexity of being autistic/ADHD/AuDHD in this modern world we are living in. I have found the book, “Divergent Mind: Thriving in a World That Wasn’t Designed For You” by Jenara Nerenberg to be an excellent guide in my work with women. I highly recommend it.

Personally, I am into duality, being a Gemini. I have young adult twins, two doodles, Whitney and Banks and two tuxedo cats (Simba and Whiskers). I love to play bad golf, binge great non-murder shows (The Bear, Shrinking), create mental health stickers, read books that are rom-com oriented (Abby Jimenez, Emily Henry) and watch any sport that happens to be on (football is my favorite — GO HAWKS!)
