Hello, I am a licensed marriage and family therapist offering therapy to individuals. I am passionate about reducing the stigma around therapy and creating a supportive space for healing, exploration, and growth. As a grounded therapist I seek to help clients navigate life’s challenges with insight, clarity, and accountability. With over 15 years of clinical experience that spans diverse settings, including community mental health, high-crisis inpatient care, and residential programs for foster youth. I have supported individuals and families facing anxiety, depression, blended family dynamics, neurodivergence, and significant life transitions such as loss, incarceration, or shifting roles within family structure. Through Grow Therapy I provide individual outpatient therapy services. Any additional or added services such as a letter of enrollment or other documentation requests are separate services and will require a separate fee.
Our first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another and begin exploring what brings you to therapy. I’ll ask some questions about your current concerns, personal history, and goals for treatment. This helps me gain a better understanding of how I can support you. It’s also a chance for you to ask any questions you may have and determine if you feel comfortable moving forward with our work together.
My approach is collaborative and grounded in compassion. I integrate strength-based, person-centered care with techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Narrative Therapy. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, navigating change, or simply looking for support, I strive to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered. Known for a calming thoughtful presence, I use questions that guide clients toward growth while allowing space for reflection, realization, and solutions.
My ideal client isn’t defined by one specific identity or life experience. I believe therapy is for everyone, and I strive to create a space where people from all walks of life feel seen, heard, and accepted. I am especially passionate about working with individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds and communities of color who may have been taugh, directly or indirectly, that therapy is not for them. Whether due to stigma, generational beliefs, or lack of access, many people have not been given permission to prioritize their mental health. I aim to challenge that narrative by offering a safe, affirming, and culturally responsive space.

My first meeting aka consultation, and I felt like someone actually sat and listened to me and understood me without having to experience it themselves. Looking forward to our first real meeting!!!

She is kind and understanding. She listens and hears what I am saying. She acknowledges what I say and gives me feedback. She encourages me to be better. I like her very much.

I enjoyed meeting with Cora. She is easy to talk to. I felt comfortable and safe while answering the most uncomfortable questions that have to be asked I really liked her relaxed, mellow, no worries vibe! Loved it as a matter of fact. Made me feel warm and relaxed too. I had no fear while talking to her, which is really unusual for me. I need more of this in my life. Thank you Cora.
