Lori works from a trauma-informed lens and uses an eclectic approach to healing. After listening to your concerns she will offer options for treatment based on what she has heard. If you are seeking treatment after a traumatic experience, Lori uses both Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and the Cognitive Processing Protocol (CPT) to help process the traumatic event(s). She also uses a Cognitive Behavioural framework to understand the interactions between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. She draws on the strategies of Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) to help her clients build adaptive coping strategies. Most recently Lori became certified to offer the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP), which is based in the Polyvagal Theory.
