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!

Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy: Anxiety, Depression, Cutting Self Harm, Trauma, Divorce/Custody Issues, Eating Disorders, Oppositional Defiant Disorders. Adults: Relational Difficulties, Divorce, Work/Life Transitions, Self Destructive Behaviours are some of the reasons people choose to work with me. I am a Registered Psychotherapist, my background is Psychodynamic Psychotherapy- a therapeutic approach that embraces the work of all psychoanalytic therapies: object relations, ego psychology, self-psychology, mentalization and attachment theory. I tailor my approach to the individual child, adolescent or adult.

I believe in the importance of applying empathy, genuineness, and non-judgement to create safe and comfortable environments when assisting clients with life changes. I work individually, implementing Play Therapy, adolescent and adult psychotherapy. My treatment is guided by several theoretical models to better assist the uniqueness of an individual struggling with emotions, thoughts and behavioral patterns due to anxiety, depression and interpersonal challenges. My extensive experience has given me applicable knowledge and capability in areas of mental health, crisis management, and those struggling with daily living and life.

I love to work with highly sensitive people at a stage where they want to drop the toxic drama and begin to engage in life rather than react to it. I love working with couples and individuals who need a different framework because their current model of the world isn't working anymore. In the second half of life, we look to relate to the world, not manage it.
