About Lorene
As a licensed therapist with over three decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals through life's complex challenges. My practice centers on helping clients navigate stress, anxiety, relationship dynamics, and healing from past traumas. I bring a compassionate, faith-informed approach to counseling, with a deep understanding of issues affecting women, veterans, and older adults.
My therapeutic work focuses on empowering clients to develop self-love, improve communication, explore life purpose, and work through codependency. I'm particularly skilled at supporting individuals in processing difficult experiences, finding paths to forgiveness, and building resilience.
Drawing from extensive clinical experience, I create a supportive environment where clients can explore their challenges, develop coping strategies, and move toward personal growth. My approach is rooted in respect, understanding, and commitment to helping each person discover their inner strength and potential.
"Hi, I'm Lorene and I'm glad you're here. As one who has experienced a loved one suffer with trauma and depression, I'm here to say that you don't have to deal with your struggles alone. I am here to offer a safe and supportive environment for your needs. "

Why did you decide to become a counselor or psychiatric provider?
I started out with a desire to become a medical technologist and did become one after earning my degree in psychology.

That's when I realized that this field was and is indeed my calling. So here I am!
