About Lori
Biography
My strengths include figuring out what is wrong with family dynamics and finding common ground to resolve the problems that damage children and their parents. I am committed to stable values, such as honesty and loyalty, and take my responsibilities to my clients, my profession and my own family with utmost seriousness. As a person of faith, I believe that almost every event has a reason. My unchanging core values of family and integrity give my life purpose. I enjoy restoring hope, joy and promise to people's lives and to helping them navigate their way to better parenting during and after divorce. Children are our future.
