She views each person as the expert of their own story and works to build on existing strengths while supporting clients through anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, and a wide range of life changes. Her practice centers on creating a therapeutic environment that offers practical tools, steady support, and a sense of safety for exploring difficult thoughts and feelings and discovering a sustainable path forward.

Lois emphasizes collaboration and empowerment, helping people identify values, build coping skills, and address patterns that interfere with well-being. She has experience with issues including stress, depression, addictions, parenting and family dynamics, eating and body image concerns, ADHD, bipolar challenges, and compassion fatigue, among others. Her clinical training includes approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Existential Therapy.

Lois communicates in English and maintains a responsive messaging practice, generally checking messages several times each day from Tuesday through Saturday and asking for understanding when responses are delayed. As a licensed LCSW, she brings long-term clinical experience and a calm, supportive presence to each therapeutic relationship.
