She brings extensive experience supporting children, youth, and families across a wide range of challenges. With more than 28 years of experience working in child and youth care, Lori has supported individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, emotional regulation difficulties, school-related stress, self-esteem concerns, family conflict, and complex behaviour needs. She has a deep passion for working with military families and first responders, recognizing the unique stressors, transitions, and relational impacts that can arise within these communities.

Lori’s approach is grounded in compassion, authenticity, and emotional safety. She values collaboration and works from a strength-based, trauma-informed, and non-judgmental perspective. Her therapeutic foundation includes Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) skills, Mindfulness-Based approaches, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. She tailors each session to reflect the individual needs, goals, and lived experiences of her clients. Lori is committed to supporting healthy attachment and strengthening caregiver–child relationships. She works closely with parents and caregivers to enhance communication, emotional regulation, and resilience within the family system.

Clients working with Lori can expect a warm, validating, and supportive space where they are heard, understood, and empowered. Her focus is on helping individuals build meaningful coping skills, deepen self-awareness, and move toward sustainable, positive change. Lori is very happy to be part of the Better You Counselling Services team and looks forward to connecting with you.
