A Little About Me

Hi! My Name is Corinne (kuh-rin) (she/her)

I am a licensed therapist in Los Angeles, and I’m here to help you move on from feeling lost, confused, overwhelmed, and stuck and finally reach a place of purpose, strength, calmness, and joy. Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, lack of self-worth, or self-doubt, you are in the right place.

I help people uncover the root causes of their issues and find a way out. If you are ready to put in the work, you will be surprised by how much positive change therapy can bring into your life. It not only has the ability to create more happiness in your daily life, but it can also improve your relationships and your ability to be more successful in your life goals and career.

You have been struggling for too long without relief.   

You need an expert who truly knows what it takes to help you find a way out and get you back on track with your life and career. I am ready to help!

My Approach to Therapy

As a therapist, I actively participate in therapy conversations, providing feedback, teaching you skills, and helping you work through problems or unhealthy patterns.  I teach coping strategies and boundary setting and help clients build stronger, healthier relationships not only with others, but also with themselves.  This deep foundational work can positively affect every aspect of your life, including your mood, relationships, career, and how you feel about yourself and how you fit into the world.

In our sessions together, you will feel supported and safe while also challenged in ways that will help you grow. Healing can include feeling and recalling difficult emotions and memories. In these moments, I provide the calm, compassionate, and grounding force to help you weather the storm and find the light in the darkness to guide your way out. Even though therapy is sometimes emotionally challenging, it can also be a place to laugh, be silly, and explore life in humorous ways. I am always ready to talk extensively about the most challenging topics, but I am also always ready to laugh and use humor as a way to heal.

Inclusive, Affirming, and Informed Therapist

I am a body-positive, sex-positive, LGBTQIA+ affirming, polyamory and consensual non-monogamy-friendly/knowledgable, and kink-informed therapist. Our relationship with our body and our sexuality is an integral part of the human experience, and I enjoy helping people develop healthier relationships with themselves and their sexuality and have more satisfying relationships with others.  I welcome all clients into my practice, regardless of their sexual orientation, preferences, practices, identities, or relationship styles.

I continually work at being a culturally sensitive counselor, respecting the beliefs, perspectives, and values of my clients that are different than my own.  I am always doing my own internal work in continually assessing my own biases and assumptions and educating myself on cultural and identity issues so that I can best help my clients in a way that supports their values and beliefs.  I do not also expect my clients to always fit into gender, cultural, sexual, or racial norms and want to know about their own perspectives, values, and interpretations instead of making assumptions. I do my best to consider all aspects of my clients' backgrounds, beliefs, values, and worldviews when selecting treatment approaches.

Theories and Techniques 

Research shows that the therapeutic relationship—how connected you feel with your therapist—is one of the strongest predictors of successful treatment, but for those who are curious about what specific theories I pull from in my therapy work:

• Cognitive Behavioral Treatment (CBT)
• Holistic Therapy
• Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy
• Attachment Theory
• Motivational Interviewing
• Humanistic/Person Centered
• Existential Theory

Each client is unique; therefore, I tailor my approach to use the most effective strategies that I believe will best meet each client’s individual needs, strengths, and therapy goals.  I continually assess the progress of the treatment along the way and adjust my approach based on client feedback and outcomes. If clients are interested, I also enjoy incorporating mindfulness, meditation, relaxation exercises, and other such coping techniques in their treatment.
