Hey, I'm Corinne.

Clinical Psychologist & Therapist

I help people break the old patterns shaping how they think, act, and see themselves. In therapy, we work through what's weighing you down and uncover the strengths it's been hiding. My approach is holistic and rooted in the present moment. It's less about dissecting problems one by one, more about how the pieces of your life fit together. I tailor the work to you, drawing on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Self-Determination Theory, and trauma-focused methods, in a space that's safe and affirming for who you are.
