Lorin works with children, adolescents, and adults experiencing trauma related symptoms, anxiety, intrusive thoughts, emotional dysregulation, and behavioral concerns connected to nervous system stress. Her clinical work focuses on symptoms and reactions that feel persistent, automatic, or unresolved through insight based or supportive therapy alone.

Lorin has extensive experience working with complex trauma, attachment related challenges, and trauma driven behavioral patterns, including work with foster and adoptive populations. She supports children and families navigating emotional reactivity, regulation difficulties, and trauma related transitions within family systems.

Lorin practices as an Associate Licensed Counselor under the supervision of Anna James, MSCP, LPC-S. She continues to deepen her specialization in trauma focused, neuroscience based care, with an emphasis on structured, ethically paced treatment.

Therapeutic Approach

Lorin’s approach is trauma informed, neuroscience based, and intentionally structured. Her work prioritizes nervous system regulation and focused trauma processing rather than insight alone.

As a Master ART Practitioner and Accelerated Resolution Therapy Trainer, Lorin uses ART as a core treatment modality when appropriate. ART is incorporated within a phased approach that emphasizes stabilization, readiness, focused processing, and integration.

Treatment is individualized, carefully paced, and goal oriented. Lorin works to help clients create meaningful and lasting emotional change while reducing the risk of overwhelm or retraumatization.
