Dr. Lord holds California psychology license PSY21497 and graduated from the California School of Professional Psychology in 2005.

Dr. Lord is both an EMDRIA Certified Therapist and an EMDRIA Approved Consultant, holding EMDR International Association certification number 33046319 since 2014.

Her office sits just one block from the beach near the intersection of Camino Del Mar and 15th Street, with free street parking and a dedicated lot accessible from Camino Del Mar between 13th and 14th Streets. Sessions are available Monday through Thursday by appointment, with individual session rates starting at $225 and a sliding scale available for qualifying patients. Dr. Lord accepts Medicaid and works with several out-of-network insurance providers. Her extensive continuing education spans hundreds of hours in topics ranging from Bessel van der Kolk's neurobiology of trauma to Richard Schwartz's Internal Family Systems model, as well as specialized training in culturally responsive EMDR and somatic abolitionism. Clients seeking holistic support alongside psychotherapy often pair sessions with nearby practitioners like The Holistic Remedy on 15th Street, which focuses on women's hormonal and gut health coaching. The gender-neutral restroom, wheelchair accessible parking, and appointment-only schedule reflect Dr. Lord's commitment to creating an inclusive, safe therapeutic space.
