““I define connection as the energy that exists between people when they feel seen, heard, and valued; when they can give and receive without judgment; and when they derive sustenance and strength from the relationship.” Brené Brown”
Guiding values and philosophy
A common theme in Lori’s work to date has been her dedication to trauma-informed care, not just as this relates to direct service, but also as this relates to organizational development. Lori remains committed to the trauma-informed values of safety, trustworthiness, collaboration, voice, and choice, and you can expect to see evidence of these values in her interactions with you.
Lori also believes that:
Every person has the capacity to grow and thrive; unfortunately, not everyone has been afforded the same opportunities.
Being socially conscious is an active, intentional choice. Social justice belongs at the forefront.
We are all jointly responsible for building healthy communities.
Healing and growth often happen in relationship.
A guiding style vs an “expert” style (in therapy, consultation, training) results in more sustainable change.
