I have experience assisting clients with a wide variety of concerns including stress and anxiety, depression, family of origin issues, & coping with life changes. I have also supported clients through grief, trauma, and boundary setting.
I believe in working with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared freely to be worked through together. My therapy style is collaborative and interactive. My approach combines humanistic, Bowen, psychodynamic, and existential therapy. It is flexible and will be adapted to meet your unique and specific needs and circumstances.

Lona was able to root to the root of anxiety within a few sessions. Her support and tools were invaluable in helping me reach a healthier mental state. I will always be grateful to her.

Lona is very easy-going and supportive. I first spoke with Lona when I was at a really low point and she recognized that I needed immediate support. I've been working with her for several months now and I am glad to have Lona as my therapist.
