It's in the past, so why can't I get over it? Am I broken or just doing this to myself? Who even am I now? There's so much suffering in the world, what difference do I make? If you lie awake at night with these racing thoughts, a pit in your stomach, and pressure in your chest, reach out. Life is messy, so bring your full, messy self to therapy. We'll laugh, swear, rage at injustice, and mourn loss together. We'll figure out what's actually behind the humor, intellectualizing, people pleasing, defensiveness, and the things you're ashamed of doing.

I practice from a stance of radical inclusion, meaning I seek to welcome all parts of your experience and identity, even those that may feel shameful. I provide a warm and steady space to explore and uncover what feels true and we move at your pace. I have worked effectively with adults and adolescents who are healing from traumatic experiences, including interpersonal violence and abuse, sexual violence, adverse childhood experiences, and the impact of identity-based oppressions. I value the innate wisdom that clients bring to their own healing journeys and see you as the most important expert on your own experiences and desires.

There is nothing like being listened to and understood on a deep level, with genuine interest and acceptance. This is what I strive to offer in therapy or analysis, as we explore together your hopes and dreams, your losses and regrets, your longings and fears. Many people come to therapy to free themselves from self-defeating patterns and the legacy of past traumas, so they can be more truly themselves in relation to others and live with greater satisfaction and meaning. My analytic training enables me to work intensively, and I enjoy incorporating experiential techniques like journaling, psychodrama, and art.

Her work is trauma-focused and rooted in an understanding of how intersecting identities shape clients' experiences, struggles, and strengths.
Coral has experience working with individuals who have survived trauma, including domestic violence and sexual assault, and approaches this work with warmth, collaboration, and deep respect for each client's story. While she takes the work seriously, Coral also believes therapy can make room for humor—connection and healing don't always have to be heavy.
