I'm Courtney, and I work with children and their parents, youth, and adults.
My approach to therapy is unique in the sense that in addition to offering talk therapy sessions, I also blend in options like nature therapy, and therapeutic baking. I believe that using activity based approaches alongside psychotherapy can be a powerful tool for healing and growth, and can also be fun!
