About

Take a breath. You are in the right place.

Major life changes, both planned and unexpected, professional pressures, and relationship conflicts can leave anyone feeling stuck. When stress peaks, it can be difficult to see your options clearly amid emotional noise and confusion. Generic advice rarely works for nuanced lives. You need an individualized, thoughtful partnership. I offer a highly private, warm, and non-judgmental environment where you can drop the mask and speak honestly. Together, we look at the patterns holding you back and build the practical tools you need to move forward with confidence. With over 17 years of clinical expertise, including extensive work with survivors of trauma, sexual assault, developmental trauma, high-functioning anxiety, and the LGBTQ+ community, I partner with discerning individuals and couples in Florida and New York. I also offer secure virtual sessions globally. Core Areas of Expertise ~ Trauma & EMDR Recovery: Advanced Attachment-Focused EMDR combined with a Jungian lens (informed by postgraduate study at the C.G. Jung Institute of Chicago and the Philadelphia Association of Jungian Analysts) to gently process deep-rooted trauma, clear legacy blocks, and restore personal peace. ~ Structured Couples Coaching: Research-backed frameworks that help partners improve communication, resolve long-standing conflicts, and build a solid relational foundation. ~ Life Transitions: Trusted guidance through major shifts, professional pivots, and complex family dynamics. ~ Anxiety & Self-Esteem: Practical, actionable strategies to reduce chronic worry, manage high-functioning anxiety, and reinforce genuine self-confidence. Finding the right clinical partner is an investment in your future, and personal alignment is key. If my specialized modalities aren't the perfect fit for your goals, I will gladly open doors to my vetted referral network to help you find the right specialist. Let’s begin the conversation. Request an appointment to schedule a confidential, complimentary screening. Investment & Insurance: Choosing to step into therapy is a significant investment of your time, trust, and resources. My practice operates on a strictly private-pay, out-of-network basis. This operational model is a deliberate choice designed to protect your privacy, eliminate corporate oversight, and ensure your treatment is tailored entirely to your personal goals rather than an insurance manual.

Testimonials

“Lori provided a level of commitment and creativity that I have not experienced with other therapists. When I was stubborn she was patient. When bringing up a topic she wasn't aware of, she would research it. I can vouch that she is LGBTQ competent. ”
