Hi, I'm Corey. I'm a fully licensed clinical social worker and licensed professional counselor with a focus on addiction and trauma — two areas where I know how isolating and overwhelming it can feel to ask for help. I believe therapy works best when it feels like a real conversation: collaborative, honest, and grounded in your goals. Whether you're navigating recovery, processing a painful experience, or simply feeling stuck, my aim is to help you feel genuinely heard, build practical tools, and move toward the life you actually want. I work with adults dealing with substance use, PTSD, anxiety, depression, grief, and major life transitions. You won't find judgment here — just a steady, supportive space to do the work at your own pace. If you're considering reaching out, that's already a meaningful step. I'd be glad to be part of your process.
