I often hear my clients say, “I wish I had started therapy sooner!” That doesn’t have to be you. Is therapy hard at times? Absolutely! It’s also an extremely rewarding personal growth opportunity that many define as “Life-Changing.” For over a decade, I’ve helped clients thrive personally & professionally as they learn to heal/manage: 1) Mental Health 2) Self-Confidence 3) Imposter Syndrome and 4) Relationships. Through experience gained in the US & abroad, I’ve developed a therapeutic style described as empowering, collaborative & interactive.

Envision a life where the obstacles you face, such as depression, anxiety, fear, and loneliness, no longer hinder your progress. The unease and apprehension of feeling worried, guilty, adrift, or uncertain can be overwhelming. When these concerns cloud your mind and hinder your sense of purpose, they profoundly impact your mood, relationships, and overall quality of life. In a life unburdened by these challenges, you can cultivate deeper, more meaningful relationships, derive greater satisfaction from your professional and personal endeavors, and better manage worries and fears.

I’d love to talk to you about what meaningful and long lasting fulfillment would look like. To explore this, let's clarify your values and talk about holistic health: mind, body and spirit. Let's also explore barriers, internal and external, to transformation and growth. When processed and integrated, I believe that challenge can forge greater resiliency and awareness of self-limiting beliefs or behaviors that may be in getting in the way of what you really want: a deeper sense of connection and contentment, more loving relationships, fulfillment and joy. I am person-centered in my approach and happy to tailor our work to you.

I identify as a Togolese immigrant, daughter, sister, fur-mom, and wife in an interracial marriage. These identities influence how I show up as a therapist and constantly evolve each day. The challenges I have faced have given me both the insight and desire to work with individuals, couples, and families through their hurdles and to help them find what is and isn’t their story. I believe in the idea of assisting individuals, couples & families of different backgrounds to find their path instead of feeling stuck and tied down to societal expectations or their past maladaptive patterns.

Has life been heavy lately? Are you feeling anxious, down, and overwhelmed? You are not alone, and finding a therapist is an amazing first step!

If you are in need of someone grounded and objective to help you make sense of your world and provide you with the necessary skills to overcome, then I'm the therapist for you. If your goal is stability and personal growth I can guide you on that path to self-actualization. My experience ranges from general anxiety, depression and mindfulness training to chronic mental illness, trauma and addiction. There is no issue too big or too small for our time together.

Perhaps you are here in Colorado surrounded by beauty and a vibrant community that is always seeking the next best thing. It can be an intimidating process to find your purpose and make your mark especially when you’re not feeling like yourself. “I know where I want to be in life, but just can’t seem to get there... Will therapy even work for me?... I feel like a piece of the puzzle is missing, now what?... I’m running out of time to change... I don’t know who to trust.” Fear, Doubt, and Shame like to interfere with our pursuit of self-improvement, introducing thoughts like these to keep us isolated and uncertain.

As a therapist, I enjoy working with clients who are seeking out more meaning, purpose, and connection in their lives. My clients are often working on learning to regulate their emotions and connect to their bodies, understand their families and cultures, and trying to increase their self-compassion and their compassion for the world. I support people in coming back to their more authentic self, and I know the importance of taking it slow and starting where we are.

I am a licensed clinical social worker committed to working with individuals looking to address depression, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues. I also have a background in chemical dependency and trauma. I strongly believe that relationships– whether with ourselves or others– greatly impact our life satisfaction. My goal is to help you strengthen the connection and balance within your relationships to live a meaningful and authentic life.

Navigating coupling, uncoupling, transitions, and relationships can be challenging. We yearn for togetherness and separateness; closeness and space; intimacy and independence; trust/safety/security and spark/intrigue/desire. In relationships we ask: Can I be myself here? We fear in relationships we are either losing love or losing ourselves. Lorna is passionate about supporting couples and connection. She works with partners and individuals experiencing relational distress and exploring attachment orientations - leveraging forces that foster a sense of safety alongside those that sustain long-term fulfillment and desire.

I strive to empower my clients to be their most amazing, vibrant, and truest selves. It is normal to struggle but we don't need to suffer. We're often on the right path when we feel lost. This shows us we are aware and open. We are not hard wired for change but we ARE innately predisposed to search for possibilities that support our values, goals, and dreams. I see my clients as creative, capable and whole. We live in a society that is focused on external “success” and appearance and this can create an internal chaos and disconnection from that which truly feeds the spirit. The good news is that we don’t have to live this way.

Are you alive, but not fully living? Do you depend on things you look forward to but dread others, without a sense of sustained contentment and meaning? Sometimes we feel a lack of core vitality when we are not guided by our values. Some build their whole lives on "should's", (eg. should be a manager, have kids, etc), expectations that reflect cultural priorities, without getting to know themselves enough to center their own unique passions, large and small. I will help you identify & center your core values, so that you can make practical changes to your lifestyle to reflect those values and relax into a life of meaning & joy.
