Hello and thank you for stopping by! My name is Courtney. I am an energetic and motivated professional who is passionate about improving mental health and well-being. I have worked in a number of settings, including community mental health agencies, hospitals, and independent consulting, and have served a range of client populations. These experiences have taught me so much, namely that serving others gives my life meaning! As a clinician, I come with my lived experiences of mental health challenges, including anxiety, and low mood. I know how important it is to have a therapist you can connect with. I hope to be this for you!

It's understandable to feel stressed out or shut down when life is hard; situations difficult and relationships confusing. We usually cannot control our outside experiences at times making it hard to cope. I support individuals to overcome feelings of anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, people pleasing, self harm and trauma. Through an empathetic and supportive therapeutic relationship one can learn to navigate big emotions, difficult moods, and challenging patterns in healthy ways. I will gently guide you through a process of self reflection and discussion to promote self awareness as you develop skills to foster change.

Are you caught in the relentless grip of intrusive thoughts, trapped in the cycle of rumination, or paralyzed by over-analysis?

If you reached out to a therapist, have you experienced an increase in your symptoms or stagnation? If so, know that you're not alone. I am here to offer you steadfast support, compassion and tailored therapeutic techniques to support you in not only reclaiming your life but get you closer to your goals.

Stuck, riding the struggle bus, and going through the motions sounds about right. You’ve read the self-help books, listened to the podcasts, and you’ve talked to your best friend Joe. And it still isn’t cutting it. The healing you need is deep and you’re not sure how to get there. That’s fair. And that’s where therapy and counselling come into the mix. You don’t have to figure all of this out on your own, scrolling social media, or with meditations and deep breathing (even though, those are great too). You deserve some serious relief and I can help you get there.
