Happy Clients
Dr. Loretta presented a workshop for our church group that addressed healthy habits for healthy families. She outlined family structures, how past family patterns affect current family patterns, parenting styles, and how understanding personality styles and emotional intelligence can build healthier and stronger families. She even facilitated live coaching exercises and family goal planning so that families could walk away with more than just head knowledge but a tangible way to build, nurture, and heal our families.
Relationship with loss is not something that many relationship coaches address. After losing my mother, Dr. Loretta took me by the hand, listened with her head and heart, validated my emotions, opened my eyes to what a healthy grief journey looks like, and walked out my grief with me, one-on-one.
Dr. Loretta helped me with the toxic romantic relationship. She first addressed my mindset about relationships and then addressed my thoughts about my worth. I felt challenged but valued and validated. She always asked the right questions to get me to consider multiple viewpoints and solutions for my unique relationship situation. She challenged me to see myself, the other person, and the relationship through various lens. She assisted me in finding steps toward my personal relationship goal using an inside out approach. I was changed forever. Ther is nothing is superficial about how she approaches relationships.
Dr. Loretta helped me to open up about my family’s relationship with finances and our relationship with each other. First, she allowed me to vent to release the frustration and then guided me in creating and implementing boundaries with my family members that made sense for the relationship I wanted to have with them. I felt very relieved talking about finances and family with someone who did not judge me but who was empathetic, extremely wise, honest, and who expanded my thinking about social norms and expectations. She is truly personable but professional.
