Cora is trained in EMDR therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Internal Family Systems, among other modalities. Currently Cora is studying the therapeutic methods of Dr. Phil Stutz and Dr. Anodea Judith. Her lifelong teacher is Pema Chödrön. 

Cora’s background includes working with people experiencing homelessness, survivors of human trafficking, people caught in cycles of incarceration and those in recovery from substance use disorder, i.e., alcohol and drug addiction. She is a co-founder of Freedom a la Cart and is active in twelve step recovery. 

At the heart of Cora’s work she believes “that we all have perfect, brilliant souls, and that with life, they get schwacked with hurt, dirt, trauma, violence and people telling us to stuff our emotions and stories and never let them out. Therapy then—with mindfulness, empathy, listening, and homework, let’s our souls shine out again.” In essence, her main intervention is caring for everyone on earth, and therapy is a concentrated form of that. 

In Cora’s free time, she loves being a single mama to her twin teenagers, cooking, metro parks and especially laughter, be it via Robin Williams, the Simpsons, standup comedy or the Muppets.
