Hi, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor that graduated from Mercer University in Atlanta, Ga. I have 11 years of experience and I enjoy working with clients who are looking for an alternative approach to health and wellness. I have a certification in Somatic Experiencing which is a mind/body approach to healing trauma such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, and other symptoms. I also currently study IRF, Inner Relationship Focusing, and use this parts work approach at times. Often changes come as we build more trusting inner relationships with our our younger, protective or defensive parts.

Get to know me

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

In our session we I will get to know your concerns and goals for therapy. I am curious if you have done counseling before. If so, I would like to know what modality you think the therapist was trained in and what positive tools you have.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My greatest strengths is carefully and compassionately listening to a clients goals and then collaborating with them to achieve those goals.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I love working with people of various ages, and who are open to learning how your own bodies know how to resolve the stress systems that bring you into counseling. I will teach you how to listen to your body in new ways in order for you to discover how it can heal. I love helping clients discover the wisdom of their body.

Today’s session was grounding and honestly so affirming. I felt truly seen and understood in a way that made it easy for me to open up. Learning to ‘say hello’ to the parts of me that are afraid or hidden {especially my inner child} and also to the part of me that stays strong and functional really hit home. It helped me see myself with more compassion. I left feeling hopeful, supported, and ready for more!

I’ve only had one session with Cory so far, but it was a very positive experience. He was attentive, easy to talk to, and asked thoughtful questions that showed genuine understanding. Even in a single session, he created a calm, safe space and offered insights that made me feel heard and understood. I’m looking forward to continuing with him and exploring things further — excellent first impression.
