Hi there!
My name is Lorraine and I have over 20 years experience providing mental health services. I began my career in the school setting and have recently spread my wings into private practice. My approach is warm, compassionate, practical, and nonjudgmental. I believe therapy should feel like a safe place where you can be your authentic self, not a place where you have to have everything figured out before you walk through the door. Together, we can explore what is happening beneath the surface, identify patterns that may be getting in your way, and develop strategies that actually fit your life.
