I work with people who seek a clearer sense of identity but feel pulled between their race, culture, and family expectations. They are often immigrants, children of immigrants, or people navigating cross-cultural relationships, and are struggling with anxiety or chronic stress.

We may be a good match if you...
Feel torn between different cultures, values, or ways of life
Are exhausted from constantly trying to meet everyone's expectations, avoid mistakes, or being "the strong one."
Feel misunderstood by family members, partners, or friends because of cultural differences.
Struggle with self-confidence and guilt despite your accomplishments.
Hi! I'm cori.
I can help you build a sense of peace and belonging while you navigate race, culture, and family experiences.
I specialize in helping people feel more emotionally regulated as they balance their sense of self with cultural expectations and responsibility.
As a professional with lived experience navigating identity and assimilation, I have a unique understanding of how race and systemic issues impact mental health. I don't shy away from these issues in therapy! In fact, I find that these are central themes in my work with clients.
Additionally, many of my past roles involved supporting people through crisis and high levels of stress, so my therapeutic style is highly personalized, targeted, and allows space for very heavy emotions.
I am also trained in Othmer Method neurofeedback, supervised by Kalene Khan, LMFT, which provides an integrative, powerful method of "resetting" the nervous system. This is especially meaningful for those with pervasive anxiety who are seeking more balanced brain activity.
