Hi, I'm Corenia.

I came to sex therapy the way a lot of people come to therapy itself — by noticing how much shame I'd quietly absorbed about bodies, desire, and what "normal" was supposed to mean. The more I sat with clients, the clearer it became: almost no one was actually broken. They'd just never been given a safe, judgment-free place to be curious about themselves.

So I built my practice around that missing place. I trained as a licensed mental health counselor, then went deeper into sexuality and relationships through certified sex therapy coursework, supervised clinical hours, and trauma-focused training. I keep learning constantly, because the people I serve deserve care that's current, evidence-based, and genuinely affirming.

A big part of my focus is purity-culture and faith-based sexual-shame recovery — supporting people who grew up with rigid religious messages about sex and the body as they gently untangle that conditioning and reclaim their bodies, their pleasure, and their choices on their own terms.

What lights me up is the moment a client exhales — when "there's something wrong with me" softens into "oh, this makes sense." Watching someone reclaim their body, their voice, or their relationship on their own terms is the most meaningful work I can imagine doing.

I see clients in person in Bellingham, WA, and offer telehealth across Washington and Arizona — so we can work together whether you're nearby or anywhere in either state.
