I am a PhotoTherapist who integrates the visual & expressive arts to support women in achieving self-empowerment.

PhotoTherapy offers a creative way to gain personal insights and make them tangible, enabling you to reframe your “story” in a way that supports the individual needs and strengths of your personal journey. Whether you choose to have a one-time session or ongoing counseling, PhotoTherapy provides a unique context for inner exploration and outer expression of one’s self.

“Bird Prayer”

“Our bodies are beautiful and deserve to be displayed. I know this, but I do not truly feel this in my heart and soul. Having my photograph prominently displayed in my house with other photos of women that Lori has taken has helped my healing process. Every time I look at the photos I see women at peace with their bodies and that is what I hope for myself.” - Corbin Lewars

Transformation Drum

Integrating Other Visual and Expressive Arts During the process of creating a visual collage, I guide you to interpret your own personal meanings for the symbols you’ve chosen. This form of “visual story-telling” is a way to bring forth what lies within, shaping and transforming it in the process.

The process of being in front of a camera in a non-judgmental and supportive setting opens the way for further exploration of thoughts, emotions, and memories that can arise during your session.

Through a gentle process of conversation and review of your photos, I validate your experience and guide you to further reflect on and then sort through negative patterns and old ways of thinking that no longer serve you. Change your “picture” to one of Self-Love.

“Rising from the Ashes”

“Lori’s work is distinctly authentic. She takes the time to talk to her clients so they feel comfortable from the inside out before ever taking a picture. She is sensitive to mood, need and desire and doesn’t interfere with the process by putting what she might think will work above that of her client’s wishes. She takes the time needed to create and is devoted to the process. She gets just as excited by the outcome as the client!”
