Hello! I'm Kori. I am a therapist with a genuine passion for helping individuals find healing and growth. I believe in a holistic approach that addresses the mind-body connection, exploring how thoughts, emotions, and experiences impact your overall well-being. Together, we'll create a safe and supportive space to understand your unique challenges, develop coping strategies, and cultivate lasting positive change.
In your first therapy session, creating a safe space for you is my top priority. You can expect a warm and welcoming environment where you'll be invited to share at your own pace. I will want to hear about what brings you to therapy, what your goals are, and any background information you feel comfortable sharing. Think of it as a get-to-know-you session. There's no pressure to divulge everything at once. The focus is on building trust and establishing a comfortable connection so you can feel safe to explore your thoughts and feelings in future sessions.
My greatest strengths are my ability to quickly build rapport with clients, tailor my approach to their individual needs, and adapt my techniques and communication style based on their personality are key assets. I am also a skilled active listener and communicator, which allows me to ask insightful questions and ensure clear and effective communication.
My ideal client is someone who is genuinely motivated to address their challenges and willing to actively participate in the therapeutic process. This includes a willingness to explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and to consider making changes. A client who is willing to be open and honest with me about their experiences, even the difficult or uncomfortable ones. This honesty fosters trust and allows me to provide the most effective support.
I understand the unique struggles you may be facing. I offer a compassionate and evidence-based CBT approach to help you navigate these challenges. Whether you're seeking to overcome past trauma, manage anxiety, or improve your relationships, I'm here to support your journey towards healing and personal growth.
