Get in touch

Connect with Lori to begin your journey toward relational healing.

Lori is a trained individual, couples, and family therapist. Her work focuses on helping individuals and couples improve intimacy, navigate conflict, strengthen communication, and take personal responsibility within their relationships. She helps clients identify the recurring patterns that create disconnection and guide them in making concrete changes that shift the way they interact with one another.

HOW LORI WORKS

As a Terry Real Relational Life Therapist (RLT) Lori’s sessions are structured, active, and goal-oriented. She uses session time intentionally to move the work forward in a direct and focused way. She views therapy as a place where relational improvement is developed through awareness, accountability, and practice.

LORI’S APPROACH

Lori is direct in her work and will call out behaviors that are harmful to the relationship when necessary, while still approaching these moments with compassion and care. She believes that growth happens when individuals are both supported and challenged, and she works to hold that balance in the room. Lori also incorporates trauma-informed work into the process, including working through trauma in the presence of a partner. This approach can deepen understanding, bring clarity to long-standing dynamics, and create space for more conscious and connected ways of relating.
