Hi, I’m Lorraine

An Associate Clinical Social Worker. I provide compassionate, evidence-based therapy to children, teens, parents, and adults navigating anxiety and emotional overwhelm.

 

I specialize in supporting clients and families who are struggling with anxiety, panic, perfectionism, emotion regulation challenges, and the stress of everyday life. I’m here to help you find emotional safety, clarity, and confidence, whether that’s for your child, yourself, or the whole family.

Behind every anxious child is a nervous system asking for safety - and a parent doing their best to help. You don't have to figure it out alone..

Areas of Focus

 

I support individuals and families experiencing:

  • Anxiety, panic, depression, and excessive worry in adults and children

  • Emotional regulation challenges

  • Perfectionism and school stress

  • School avoidance

  • Family and parenting stress

 

I am a Certified Anxiety-Informed Professional, which guides my work with clients whose anxiety shows up emotionally, physically, or relationally.

 

My Therapeutic Approach

My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and rooted in cultural humility. I tailor each session to meet you where you are, whether that means play-based work with younger kids, skills training for teens, or support with boundaries and emotional processing for adults and parents.

 

I use evidence-based modalities including:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), to help shift unhelpful thoughts and build practical coping skills.

  • Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), to support better communication and relationship connections.

  • Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), to gently and safely work through past distressing experiences.

  • Brain-based tools and nervous system regulation strategies, to help calm the body’s natural survival response and reduce anxiety.

 

Together, we’ll build skills that help you feel more grounded, confident, and able to manage life’s challenges.

 

What It’s Like to Work With Me

People often describe me as calm, supportive, and attentive. I strive to create a safe space where you feel seen and understood, while also helping you build the tools you need to move forward.

Whether you’re a parent trying to support your child, a teen feeling overwhelmed by big emotions, or an adult navigating your own stress and anxiety, I’m here to walk with you in a way that feels steady and respectful.

 

Who I Work With

I provide therapy for:

  • Children (ages 6+) and teens with anxiety and emotional challenges

  • Parents seeking guidance and support

  • Adults navigating anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions
