Hello friend, and happy Friday!
I'm thrilled to introduce you to Lori, an incredible licensed Mental Health Counselor who started this journey with me 13 years ago. We began by visiting offices together, dreaming about what it would look like to create a practice that truly serves people with excellence and heart.
Now, thousands of sessions later, Lori continues to be a huge help in transforming lives daily. She was so foundational in the beginning of our journey of reflecting Christ to those we serve, and her heart for helping others heal has been a cornerstone of everything we've built together.
Watching Lori work with clients over these years has been one of the greatest privileges of my career - she brings both professional excellence and genuine compassion to every person who walks through our doors.
Lori is a licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida and a certified EMDR practitioner with over 20 years of experience. She specializes in creating a safe, supportive space for individuals navigating anxiety, stress, trauma, and life transitions.
Using a variety of techniques like talk therapy, EMDR, CBT, mindfulness, and therapeutic art, Lori tailors her approach to each person’s needs. With a focus on strength-based, collaborative care, she works especially with teen girls and young women, helping clients reframe negative beliefs and find relief.
Outside of counseling, Lori enjoys family, traveling, creative arts, music, and exploring new skills. If you're ready to take a courageous step toward healing and fulfillment, Lori is here to walk with you on that journey.
Lori's also personally written a statement welcoming you to her practice!
Hello, I’m Lori! I’m passionate about helping people who are navigating anxiety, stress, or any hurdles that prevent them from living a fulfilling, purposeful life. Whether you’re facing negative thoughts, emotional challenges, or life transitions, I’m here to support you in discovering roots and solutions, empowering you to move forward with confidence.
I am a licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of Florida and a certified EMDR practitioner. With over 20 years of counseling experience, I specialize in creating a safe, compassionate space where your story is heard and valued. I work with a variety of techniques including person-centered talk therapy, EMDR, CBT, mindfulness, therapeutic art, and solution-focused strategies—all tailored specifically to your needs. My goal is to help you explore your concerns in a natural, conversational way while building a trusting, collaborative relationship.
I pride myself on being an attentive listener and helping clients feel at ease from the very first session. I work from a strength-based perspective, and I have extensive experience working with teen girls and young women. Trauma work, whether past or present, is a particular focus of mine—I help clients reframe negative beliefs and find relief using EMDR.
Many discover that the work they've already done is more than enough for meaningful change, which can be incredibly
empowering!
On a personal note, my husband and I are now navigating life as empty nesters, which has brought perspectives and flexibility into my life. When I’m not working, I enjoy traveling, visiting with our children, and decorating my home. I also have a passion for creative pursuits like
crafts, painting, drawing, and exploring digital art. I love taking on large art projects and helping design and create decorations for events at my church.
Music is a big part of my life—I enjoy singing, playing the piano, and I’m always curious to learn new skills. Currently, I’m dabbling in
learning to play the guitar, or the bass guitar. We’ll see how that goes! Surprisingly, I find cleaning to be incredibly relaxing and satisfying, even if its results are fleeting! If you’re ready to take a courageous step toward a better life, I’d love to work with you.
Your story is important to me, and I look forward to walking alongside you on your journey to clarity, healing, and fulfillment.
As you can see, Lori is incredible, and I can't express my joy enough of how much I trust her with her clients, and how much I've loved getting to know her!
Love living intentionally with you,
Christa
