Hi all,
So I know it's a busy time of year for many (myself included as you'll note in my notice in the LOA section), but I wanted to take some time to offer a proper hello to you all.
I'm Lori, and I've been involved with online Trek RPGs for 17 years now. I've participated in a variety of fleets and independent games over the years, and while none of that official stuff matters to me, I've always written and loved counselors during that time. I like to call it my lovable rut. 
The truth is, I love the collaborative aspect of simming and the relationship building that comes with that collaboration IC and out. I enjoy helping other people develop their characters by interacting with mine, and I'm learning how to develop my own in the process.
In RL, I'm also a therapist, working toward licensure as a mental health counselor in Florida, a process that's worth a completely separate thread, I swear. My passion is working with adult trauma survivors, particularly survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault, so if you've got a character with PTSD or are about to put your character through something, I'm your gal.
I'm not about to win any writing contests or pen novels anytime soon, but if you're looking for a partner or a sounding board, feel free to reach out. I'm a strong believer in finding a way to throw characters together even if it's not the perfect set-up, so you won't get a "my character would never speak to yours" response from me ever.
I'm glad to be here!
~Lori
