Certified Relational Life Coach (RLT)

I'm a Nurse Practitioner, AASECT Certified Sex Counselor, and Relational Life Coach who specializes in sex and intimacy in long-term relationships. I combine medical expertise with body-based and relational tools—because sex problems aren't just in your head, and they're not just about technique.

Hi, I'm Dr. Lori.

I'm glad you're here.

It's time to make real change.

This Isn't Talk Therapy. It's Not Just "Communication."

Most sex advice assumes the problem is what you're doing (or not doing) in bed. But the real issue is usually what's happening in your nervous systems, relationship patterns, and sometimes your physical body—long before you get to the bedroom.

I work with:

Your bodies (somatic tools to help you feel safe and present, medical assessment when physical factors are involved)

Your relationship (addressing pursue-withdraw patterns and stuck dynamics, whether you're working alone or with a partner)

Your actual reality (not some idealized version of desire)

So you can stop performing, stop managing, and start actually wanting each other again.

You want more for your relationship but just don't know how to get it.

You feel awkward and shut down when you try to talk about it.

You're wondering if this is just how it is now

You're avoiding intimacy entirely to avoid the fight

One of you wants sex way more than the other

You're in the right place if...

You are ready for change.

Testimonials

I have seen many doctors and therapists in my adult life. Although they have been helpful, I’ve always felt as if I wasn’t making as much progress as I hoped and that something was missing from my care. Lori has been the first person able to connect the dots between my physical and emotional symptoms to get to the root of what’s going on. She really listens to what I’m saying and doesn’t brush anything aside. She has helped me learn how to listen to myself and reconnect with my body when I thought that was no longer possible. She encourages curiosity and compassion instead of rigid all or nothing ways of thinking and I can’t thank her enough for the help she has given me.

Lori has been instrumental in helping us add life back into our sex life. We’ve been together for 20 years, but sex was still hard for us to talk about — and our intimacy was paying the price. Lori met us where we were, and guided us to a more open (and pleasurable!) place. She helped us approach our thoughts, our feelings and our relationship with curiosity in place of judgement. Everyone should have a Lori.

Thank you! I can't explain how great it feels to have someone work with me and genuinely seem to care and feel you have my best interest at heart. It's been life changing to have someone as part of my health care team who is so wonderful. When I was recommended to see you, I was told you were a 'magical hormone understanding unicorn," and I feel like that description fits perfectly!
