Hello, my name is Courtney and I am a daughter, a mother, and a therapist! I am a believer in all things mental health and wellness!

My goal in our therapeutic relationship is to help guide you in making positive choices, while also maintaining a healthy lifestyle that helps you become your whole self. Let us take this journey together and find your healing for the next step of your life.

"Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing is changed that is not faced." --James Baldwin. I have been in the field since 2003, licensed since 2009 and have worked with people aged 2-65. Whether in school systems, private homes or professional offices, my work is tailored to the needs of the individual with attention paid to the systems which impact them (family/relationships, school, community, religious affiliation).

In addition to being a clinical supervisor in La and MD, I work specifically with student-athletes and high performing women, as there is a unique set of pressures for both populations. It is important to have a special skill set to thrive in their lives. Too often though, there is either a lack of balance or decreased performance, and both are needed for sustained wellness and success. Through a combination of psychotherapies and performance psychology, I aim to help clients achieve their goals. I believe that the therapeutic process is a partnership that the client is in control of, as they know their lives the best.

Often we find ourselves overwhelmed by the stress of life. We are challenged by the need to manage anger or cope with depression. Confusion about identifying personal and professional goals may lead to feelings of anxiety and inadequacy. Through therapy one can explore the possible impact of early life relationships, and experiences upon current day struggles. Therapy affords one the chance to recognize what is important and brings us to the self-awareness of the resources we have within to manage feelings and change interfering behaviors.
