For the sensitive over-thinkers who want to worry less, trust themselves more, and feel more grounded.

Hi! I’m Lori, your neighborhood Queer millennial therapist.

If your brain feels like mush, you're overthinking everything, or your emotions are hitting β€œtoo much” daily-I am glad you are here.

We’ll slow things down, untangle the thoughts, and practice effective strategies to help you feel more grounded, together.

Queer Therapist who specializes in DBT and EMDR and Anxiety in Northern Virginia and Richmond Virginia.

Maybe You’ve Tried The Things...

The journaling, the Barnes & Noble self help section (again), the meditation apps. But those thoughts and β€œwhat ifs” keep coming back. The spirals take you into your mind and far away from rest. I can help with that!
