About Me
Hello!
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with over 15 years of experience working as a therapist and over 25 years of experience working with children and families recovering from trauma, grief and loss. I have worked with clients suffering with a wide range of diagnoses including mood disorder, depression, bi-polar, anxiety, panic, trauma, PTSD, dissociative disorders, psychosis, adjustment disorders and gender dysphoria.
I have been working specifically with teens since 1995! I have a soft spot in my heart for teens. Teens are basically the reason that I learned how to help any other population. I fell in love with the energy, attitude and noble defiance that teens bring to the table when there is a problem to be solved. I also love being a person that they can truly trust when it may seem that all of the adult resources have ceased to understand where they're coming from. I understand how difficult it is to lean into a teenager's perspective as a parent. I am that too--a parent. I have raised 3 to adulthood and have a 14 year old at home. All of my kids help me stay youthful in my outlook and balanced in my approach to solving problems with my teen clients and the one I have at home :)
If you have a teen at home that simply needs a place to problem-solve or maybe there are some very serious symptoms at play, I would be honored to work with your teen. Let me know if I can help.
Looking forward to meeting you!

Reviews
My first session with Lori went wonderful, she made sure we touched on all of the concerns I had mentioned in messages before the session and did a great job of making me feel heard and supported.
Lori has been so kind and compassionate as she helps me understand and cope with my trauma.
Lori has been a great help. I really appreciate her being so open minded especially with Polyamory and LGBTQ+ topics. I feel like I can open up to her naturally. I also really appreciate her seeing the good parts of myself. Her positive affirmations really make my day at the end of the session no matter what the struggles I'm facing are. I highly recommend her.
Great listener actually helps me figure out why I feel the way I’m feeling instead of brushing me off just very easy to talk to !
Lori is very caring person I just one session I felt so much better.
Genuinely, the best therapist ever.
Kind, understanding, and knowledgeable.
From the very start Lori has been so respectful, kind and patient. She is so easy to talk to and nurturing. In the short time we've been working together I've felt like I really have an ally. She's helped me in the simplest and most profound ways. I feel like I'm not holding my breath anymore.
