Owner/Clinician
Hi, I’m Lori and I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. I enjoy working with children, teens, and young adults. I strive to provide a relaxed, non-judgmental space so you can be yourself and achieve your goals. I often incorporate creative therapy strategies, such as art and play, into my practice and believe that not one modality is a fit for everyone. You are a unique individual and your therapy should match your needs and goals. I have experience working with children, teens, and young adults in the areas of anxiety, depression and mood disorders, self-harm behavior, anger, behavioral concerns, changes in family life, life transitions, abuse, and trauma. I have years of experience working with children using play-based therapy techniques, and one of my favorite spaces in my practice is my play therapy room! Play is the language of children and through their play children can explore, express, and manage big emotions, life changes, behavioral concerns, anxiety, depression, trauma, and more. Using expressive arts in therapy is often helpful when words may be too hard to find or express. Also, I am trained in and use other evidence-based practices such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and I am nationally Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) certified.

Life presents many different challenges. Sometimes the weight of it is too much to carry alone. Hello, I’m Blake and my primary goal is to provide a safe place for each client to find the help and strength they need. I provide therapeutic support for children, adolescents, and adults, with a focus on ADHD, depression, anxiety, and trauma.
Using an integrative, client-centered approach to address each client’s specific needs, we will work together to achieve the goals and freedom you seek. I am trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy and utilize this modality in both play therapy with children and individual sessions with adolescents and adults.
Working with a diverse population of clients has shown me that everyone at their core wants to feel safe, feel valued, and be heard. I work hard to provide this space for them in my office. My hope is that each client is able to connect with their inner world and find the strength they need to stand in confidence when challenges come their way.
