It would be my honor to hear your story and provide a safe, nonjudgmental, environment to help you explore your unique path to optimal well-being. Throughout this process you will receive unwavering support, unconditional respect, and compassionate guidance. Whether your personal goals include decreasing anxiety or depression, exploring relationship concerns, developing self-compassion, managing stress, or changing behaviors that are not serving you, together, we will navigate the way forward through these changes.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session, we will take time to get to know each other and talk about what brings you to therapy. I'll ask some questions to learn more about your background, current concerns, and goals for our work together. The first session is also an opportunity for you to ask questions, learn about my approach, and see how therapy might feel for you. Together, we will begin to outline a plan that feels comfortable, supportive, and tailored to your needs.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I integrate a variety of approaches in a way that is practical, compassionate, and tailored to each individual. My experience working with diverse clients navigating anxiety, life transitions, depression, relationships, and trauma allows me to guide the towards not just coping-but thriving.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I work with individuals and couples who are seeking greater balance, connection, and emotional well-being. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in evidence-based practices.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together, we identify unhelpful patterns and build practical tools for positive change and emotional well-being in a supportive, collaborative environment.

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients strengthen mindfulness and self-acceptance while taking purposeful action toward their values and goals.

Exposure Response Prevention (ERP)

Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is used to help clients gradually face fears, reduce avoidance, and build confidence in managing anxiety with support and guidance.

Gottman method

I use the Gottman Method to help couples strengthen their communication and deepen their emotional connection. Together, we focus on improving understanding, managing conflict constructively, and fostering a more supportive partnership.

Trauma Informed Care

I use a trauma-informed approach to create a safe supportive environment where clients feel empowered and understood. I emphasize trust, choice, and collaboration while helping clients build resilience and heal at their own pace.

We’ve worked with a few couples therapists over the years, and this is one of the first times we’ve felt real, measurable progress. Kori's approach stands out immediately—there’s a clear structure, and the tools she gives us are practical, thoughtful, and actually usable outside of sessions.

She was comfortable to talk to. Warm and welcoming smile. Understood every situation I discussed. Asked questions to get to know about the situation and me. I’m glad I was able to find a great therapist.
