Hello! I'm Corey (she/they), and I genuinely appreciate you taking the time to be here. I identify as AuDHD, queer, and someone living with chronic illness. My heartfelt passion is supporting individuals in embracing their authentic selves while respecting every part of their unique journey—past, present, and future.
Beginning counseling can sometimes feel overwhelming, especially if it’s your first experience or if your family isn’t fully familiar with mental health topics. That’s completely understandable. I utilize a strength-based approach, emphasizing the resilience you've shown even during challenging times. Together, we can work to transform that resilience into your personal strength. Part of our work may include engaging your nervous system with gentle movement and body awareness, honoring your experiences along the way. Additionally, I often like to start sessions by having you share something like a TikTok, meme, photo you took, artwork, or song that resonated with you recently—it's a nice way for us to connect and help you find your center. You might notice I wear rose-colored glasses during our sessions—it's a special tint that offers a little extra help for migraines and light sensitivity. Feel free to use any of your accommodations, including ESA's, whenever we meet.
Your determination truly deserves recognition. I hope we can create a safe and supportive space where you feel comfortable being your true self—without masks or judgment. I’m here to support you on your journey toward growth and well-being. If you feel ready, consider scheduling a session—I would be glad to connect with you!

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
