I am an Ohio based mental health therapist with 11 years of professional work experience. I currently hold an LPCC-S license in the state of Ohio and have worked in a variety of mental health settings including school based, home based, community based, residential, and private practice and have specialized in treating survivors of human trafficking for the last 7 years. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, sexual based traumas, relationship issues, transitions into adulthood or parenting, personality disorders, codependency, self-harm and suicidal thoughts, and non-traditional relationship dynamics.
I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. I utilize a mixture of CBT and DBT skills primarily as well as client centered and solution focused techniques to help my clients achieve the goals that they set for themselves.
Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

After working with Corrie for almost a year I am feeling 90% better! I went from hopeless and stuck, to strong and clear. I have the tools and awareness to work through things on my own now. Thank you Corrie and BetterHelp!

Corrie is hands down the greatest trauma therapist out here. I’ve worked with at least 10 other therapists in my life, and I have made more progress during my time with Corrie. She validated me, supports me, challenges me, and gives me a safe place to feel comfortable and calm.
