Hi there! My name is Lory and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor serving clients in Florida for the past 5 years. My personal life experience makes me empathetic to others who are suffering from mental health issues and I love the opportunity to help people heal. My clients should expect to feel supported and empowered after a session with me. Some conversations are more difficult than others but I work diligently to create an environment where my clients feel safe and secure. I prioritize equipping my clients with the tools and strategies to make sense of their lived experience while making sure they don’t feel alone. I specialize in counseling children, adolescents, adults, families and couples with diverse backgrounds who are experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, family and relationship issues. I tailor my treatment practices to the needs of my clients by using evidence based approaches. Healing is a collaborative endeavor that requires honesty and caring without judgment. I believe that each person is the expert of their own story. We will work together to assess and address your emotional, and mental health needs as your journey unfolds.
