Welcome! I am so glad to see you. I have been working with all types of people and hope to work with you soon. I have worked with people of all ages from 6 to 98 over my 6 years of counseling. I graduated from Tarleton State University in Texas with my Masters in Science and received my Licensed in Professional Counseling. I have helped people struggling with trauma, PTSD, depression, anxiety, addiction, psychosis, sexual disorders, communication issues, anger management, couples, family therapy, and the list continues. I am not bothered by any topic and listen with a non-judgmental ear. Past clients describe me as "sincere" and someone who "keeps it real" and " very honest".
I primarily work from a perspective of thoughts and choices, looking to empower my clients. I also love to work on mindfulness and working with YOUR own strengths. Most importantly, I work side by side with you to reach YOUR overall goals in YOUR counseling journey.

Lori made me feel comfortable and at ease from our very first video session. Even through a screen, her warmth and compassion come through, and she has a unique way of creating a safe, non-judgmental space. Lori listens carefully and offers thoughtful, insightful guidance that has really helped me navigate challenging times. I always leave our sessions feeling understood and supported. Her professionalism, empathy, and the practical tools she shares have been key to my personal growth. I’m grateful for the progress I’ve made with her as my therapist.

Working with Lori has been amazing. She not only listens and understands but gives helpful insight and tools to work through the core issue. She doesn’t project judgment, only understanding and support. I highly recommend Lori for anyone wanting to move through blockers and create positive change.

From my first meeting with her, Lori made me feel comfortable and cared for. Having no previous experience with counseling or therapy, I didn't think I would be comfortable sharing but she made it really easy to talk to her. I have really appreciated her insight and encouragement.

Lori is absolutely AMAZING. She made me feel comfortable right away ! Very professional and easy going with a wonderful way of providing a session that feels like fun girl talk rather than actual therapy. Highly recommend!

Lori has been a lifeline for me this past year! She always understands and respects my feelings and helps me to work through any anxiety I may be having. It never feels awkward or uncomfortable like other therapy sessions I’ve been through, but like I’m talking with a friend. She is serious when I need and knows how to make me laugh when I need it! Lori always offers me suggestions to improve my mental well-being and I always look forward to talking with her! After every session, it feels like a weight off of my shoulders. I’m so thankful for her and would recommend her to anyone I know!

I am extremely thankful to have found Lori at a time when I had almost given up on counseling. She listens, cares, and is just all around a person I knew I could trust and open up to. There is just something about her that is unique and makes me feel safe. She really truly cares and never shows judgement. I can really tell that she wants the absolute best for me. Her advice and guidance has helped me out so much and I always look forward to our sessions.

Lori seems to understand when it's best (for myself) to be gentle/hands off and when it's most productive (again, for myself) to push through some discomfort to reach a productive result. Not unlike a GOOD personal trainer at the gym, I have no doubts that pushing my comfort zone will be anything but positive. It's a bit scary, but I'm doing it. I've only just begun and feel optimistic

Lori is awesome. She is never condescending or rude in her recommendations and emphasizes that the power to rise above your issues resides within yourself. She has a fantastic ability to connect you with that little voice inside your head that brought you to therapy in the first place, the one that wants the very best for you - who is, in fact, yourself. I could not recommend her enough and, in fact, I already have recommended BetterHelp to multiple friends of mine thanks to the interactions I've had with Lori.

I had spoken with another counselor and each time felt worse than I did before I spoke with her. I have only had one session with Lori so far and I already feel like a huge weight has been lifted. She doesn’t just listen, she’s like a best friend you’ve known your whole life. She is funny, kind and so understanding. She validated my feelings, asked me questions to help me better understand what I am wanting to achieve, and made me laugh. She is phenomenal and I am so thankful that I found her!

Lori had the ability to get to the root of my mental health concerns and help me work to solve them like no one else. I highly recommend her to anyone who appreciates honesty in exchange of progress.

I've met with a few therapists in my search for counseling but something just clicked with Lori. She immediately came across as warm and understanding and made me feel comfortable opening up to her fast. I really appreciate when she shares a little about her own personal experiences which helps me feel less crazy/alone for feeling and thinking things about my circumstances. She is very championing about how the things I'm struggling with today don't define me and helps to clarify this path that we'll work on together - this is so helpful when it comes to feeling like there is something we are working towards.
