Grief does not follow a schedule. Whether you are mourning someone you love, facing a hard diagnosis, or weighed down by sadness and worry you cannot shake, there is room here for all of it. I walk alongside people facing some of life’s hardest moments, including serious illness, loss, and big changes they did not plan for. My background includes clinical assessment, patient navigation, and counseling for people living with chronic illness, approaching the end of life, or grieving someone they love. I also help with anxiety, depression, family stress, and transitions like retirement or an empty nest. Above all, I want our sessions to feel like a safe place to be honest about how you are really doing. I bring warmth and steadiness, and I draw on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and solution-focused tools to help you cope and find your footing. Whatever you are carrying right now, you do not have to carry it by yourself. I see clients in Rock Hill and via telehealth, Tuesday through Saturday.

I can help you with decisions, changes, challenges, and goals in your life. Using my experience, education, and intuition, I work with you collaboratively, in a way that ranges from nondirective to directive, ultimately helping you know, value, and trust yourself better. I shape my services to meet your unique issues and needs, which can include skills teaching, support and guidance for independent self-growth, or help with goal setting and decision making. I typically use a holistic, person-centered, and solution-focused approach that draws on a wide range of therapy methods to address common mental health concerns and empower you to be your truest self in the present, maintain inner peace and fulfillment, and access your potential and achieve your goals. You can expect empathetic understanding, insight, and guidance. With your best interests at heart, I look forward to helping you!

Hello! Accepting in-person new clients. Asking for help can be difficult but often necessary in order to make the changes that will improve the quality of our lives. I'm originally from Southern California and have lived in Charlotte for several years. I'm a licensed therapist with a degree in psychology and a master's in clinical social work. I have a gentle "no-nonsense" direct approach that clients find VERY productive throughout the course of therapy.

I help people change through developing a greater awareness for all of themselves, which allows them greater resources to deal with the struggles that they are experiencing. As clients develop greater awareness of themselves, including their wants, needs, emotions, and ways of relating to others, they tend to develop a wider range of choices in their lives. They learn to recognize what they do that keeps them from being their best selves. They also learn to tap into and use their own internal wisdom to help guide their choices, developing a greater authenticity in their lives. In relationships, couples and families develop greater intimacy and ability to use conflict to further their relationship through their greater awareness of themselves and their other family members. People I work with also learn with guidance and coaching to experiment with new ways of being with themselves and others in the world, which furthers their growth and development into more happy, fulfilled human beings. As an experienced psychotherapist and former graduate psychology professor, I have developed a wide range of expertise in helping others. I am honored and humbled by the courage and spirit of the people I work with and the struggles they face. I feel privileged to help people come to terms with pain, face challenges, and change their lives.

Welcome! I'm Lori and I specialize in couples dealing with issues around trust, infidelity and addiction. I also provide therapy for individuals and families who are facing issues such as relationship distress, addictive or compulsive behaviors, separation/divorce, blended family issues, post-traumatic stress disorder, depression and anxiety. I use the highly successful method of Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT) when working with couples. EFT has extensive research behind it. It has a 75% success rate with 93% of couples reporting that EFT counseling helped their relationship. It is a short-term, structured therapy that typically takes around 8-20 sessions (longer with trauma and addiction recovery). I have gone through the formal training process and use EFT to help couples with reconnection, communication, infidelity, sexual intimacy, trust-building, trauma and navigating recovery from an addiction. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in both Arizona and North Carolina. Additionally, I am a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC) and member of the International Center for Excellence in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (ICCEFT). I received my Masters of Counseling from Arizona State University's accredited counseling program. I graduated from the Kenan-Flagler Business School at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a business degree. I completed my internship and continued with eight years of practice at an internationally renowned practice, Psychological Counseling Services (PCS), in Scottsdale, Arizona, where I provided weekly therapy and intensive therapy. PCS is known for its intensive outpatient program for addiction, where I began my niche in helping couples navigate recovery and reconciliation. I focused my professional training on couples and addiction work. I am certified in Advanced Training in Problematic Sexual Behaviors (ATPSB). I have extensive experience in working with families going through the transition of separation and divorce. For 8 years, I was appointed as a mental health expert by the Arizona Family Court to provide therapeutic services for families going through a divorce. I no longer take court appointments, however, I do provide therapy for couples, individuals and families that are dealing with separation or divorce-related issues. I live in Charlotte, NC with my husband of 10 years and my two daughters, ages 3 and 6. When I'm not running around with my kids and spending time with my husband, I enjoy providing marriage advice through my blog, Marriage Sense.

Life is hard. We all face seasons of winter, where a disruption leads to feelings of grief, loneliness, anger, or anxiety. Even desired change can trigger difficult emotional experiences and heightened stress. Our modern life is so crowded with demands that many of us feel overextended, under supported, and disconnected from ourselves and others. At times, it can be difficult to find meaning and purpose in our lives and relationships. Few of us were taught how to recognize and metabolize emotional experiences or how to navigate interpersonal difficulties. My goal is to create a space where you will feel heard and understood, but also challenged and empowered to explore your life and make lasting change. Together, we will work to identify and begin to challenge and modify interpersonal patterns, habits, and beliefs that that are keeping you stuck. I pull from different modalities to meet your needs. Sometimes, we might have an exploratory session to increase self awareness or self compassion. Other times, we might engage in active behavioral experiments or exposures. Through our work together, you will learn to build skill and confidence to manage life’s stressors. While individual goals vary, I aim to help my clients live more consciously with more clarity and a better understanding and acceptance of self.

We all have struggles from time to time, and having a safe, non-judgmental space to talk about these struggles with a person who is there to listen and support you can be very helpful. Over the past 20 years, I have worked with people from all walks of life who have had various struggles with life events, depression, anxiety, OCD, bipolar, ADHD, autism spectrum, grief, and many other issues. Together, we can navigate the challenges that brought you to therapy and gain insight, learn healthy coping skills, build a healthy inner dialogue, and build a better self. Because each client is unique, I use a personalized and flexible approach that incorporates elements of CBT, relational therapy, and mindfulness. I am dedicated to creating a supportive environment that is empowering and supports growth.

My approach to therapy is client centered, and I use a variety of techniques and theories to help change negative thinking patterns and behaviors. Together we can develop solutions that will improve your life, help you manage your moods, reduce worry, help you feel more in control, and teach you new skills.

In my therapy approach, I’m very direct and honest, empathetic, curious, and I like to use our sense of humor to connect.

I’m particularly interested in working with people who are grieving, people in the LGBTQIA community, and people going through big life transitions. As a clinical addictions specialist, I support people with problematic substance use. I also support people who want to spend less time on screens, video games, social media, and the internet.
