She also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care issues, blended family dynamics, and body image worries.
Her style is straightforward and encouraging. Sessions aim to build practical skills, improve communication, and increase confidence in everyday choices. Lori emphasizes collaboration so the plan matches each person’s goals and pace.
Over nearly three decades of practice she has kept therapy centered on respect, sensitivity, and empowerment. If someone wants to explore next steps, Lori helps shape a plan that meets their current needs and long-term aims.
