Lori touched the lives of many and healed the hearts and souls of those she served.

As a prolific author, researcher and practitioner with a column in “Counseling Today”, she and Ted shared their knowledge with professionals across the world.
Lori’s passion was living life with love and applying neuroscience in counseling practice.

Lori will be deeply missed and always remembered by her clients, colleagues, friends and family.
