I am a Licensed Social Worker with a passion for decreasing the stigma surrounding mental health and promoting the health and well being of my clients. For my undergraduate degree, I moved from Central Jersey (Yes! It exists!) to South Jersey to attend Stockton University. I received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Social Work with a Minor in Behavioral Neuroscience from Stockton, and then moved on to attend graduate school in Philadelphia. I received my Master of Social Work Degree with a clinical concentration from the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Social Policy and Practice in May of 2020.

My ideal client is an individual facing challenges such as life transitions, stress, anxiety, or depression, who seeks guidance and support in navigating their emotions and relationships. They may be grappling with self-esteem or identity issues and are motivated to better understand their needs and feelings. Their goals include building resilience, enhancing mental well-being, fostering healthy connections with others, and finding a sense of purpose and fulfillment in life. They are open to have their believes be challenged, self-help, self-reflection, and are committed to personal growth in order to develop.

I am a licensed independent clinical social worker with over 16 years of experience in the behavioral health field.

Together, in a safe, supportive, and non-judgemental environment we can identify and achieve the changes you want to make in your life. Currently, I am offering both in person and telehealth appointments.

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, with emphasis on the psychodynamic perspective, Courtney is invested in fostering and empowering the utmost potential of an individual by means of unearthing deep-seated impressions, that inadvertently unravel into outward expression. Everyday circumstances challenge our established foundations on both a personal and universal level, where safety and comfort are sought in a world encompassed in judgement, repercussion, misinterpretation, burden, shame, or guilt. Courtney recognizes that there is no sole route toward exploring one’s own truth and cultivation of healing.

I am a social worker with many years of clinical experience. I am originally from Curacao, a small Caribbean island. I pursued my education in the United States and have practiced here for 18 years. I am aware of the strength and courage it takes to make significant life changes. I bring this perspective to my clinical work. I have great appreciation and admiration for people who pursue the journey of change. I offer a safe, non-judgmental environment in which clients can explore the personal transformations they want to make in their lives.

As a Dialectical Behavior Therapist, I help clients make the changes needed to improve their lives, while simultaneously balancing acceptance of themselves and utilizing their strengths. My approach is collaborative and I utilize evidence based treatments including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and PSTD treatments like CPT and EMDR. Clients I work with may struggle from daily demands of life, or have difficulty coping with emotions, anxiety, or PTSD. Using empathy and validation, along with direct feedback and humor, I enjoy helping clients discover how to build a life worth living.

My ideal client is the client that has an idea of what they want in life but is overwhelmed with life stressors such as anxiety and depression. This client needs a safe space to explore their life options and the triggers that are causing negative thinking patterns, self-doubt, and low self-confidence. This client needs support, encouragement, and a non-judgmental approach to achieve their goals.

I work with clients who are going through big or small life changes, from emerging adulthood struggles related to the college experience, to the transition to independence, to becoming a new parent, or just everyday struggles with mental health issues. I also have expertise working with individuals and caretakers who are managing medical issues. As a former medical oncology social worker, I understand the impact a new diagnosis (from cancer to dementia) can have on someone’s mental health and that of their loved ones. I also have experience working with end of life and grief.

It takes courage to make changes. I enjoy working with adult and adolescent individuals with varying mental health symptoms, and I specialize in treatment of anxiety. Together we can explore how your past experiences can influence current beliefs and behaviors, build your toolbox of strategies to cope with distress, and process your life experiences in a safe space. Exploring and learning about yourself can be an emotional experience, and it can also be empowering as well. I appreciate you letting me into your life to help with this process. I look forward to hearing your story and working together towards your treatment goals.

I am passionate about helping clients resolve their unhealthy patterns with an eye toward embracing the life they want and deserve.

Current availability: Mondays 5:30 and 6:30 PM, Tuesdays 5:30 and 6:30 PM.
