Hi, and welcome. I'm so glad you landed here. I’m Courtnie, a licensed therapist who has always loved the nontraditional approach to therapy. I love to incorporate my own intuitive abilities into my work. Over the last ten years I have been trained extensively in trauma and attachment, it is a passion of mine to work with individuals who have experienced trauma or have insecure attachment styles. Being a mother myself, I also very much enjoy working with moms who are struggling with postpartum disorders or just dealing with the day to day difficulties parenting can bring.

Throughout my years in practice, I've supported individuals in overcoming addictions, healing from trauma, and releasing internalized maladaptive belief systems and narratives about self and the world.
Finding the delicate balance between professional growth and personal fulfillment can be daunting. It's natural to feel overwhelmed by the demands of both spheres, but within these challenges lie hidden pathways to profound self-discovery and healing. By embracing therapeutic exploration, we embark on a journey to unravel unconscious patterns and heal old wounds, leading to a deeper connection with our true selves. This process opens doors to forgotten or undiscovered parts of who we are, paving the way for a more fulfilling and authentic life.

Trauma and PTSD Therapists

When should I seek treatment for trauma?

Not everyone who undergoes trauma needs therapy to heal, but many do. If, after experiencing a traumatic event, you find yourself struggling with symptoms such as nightmares, dissociation, irritability, or emotional numbness—especially if these symptoms last more than a month and are severe enough to interfere with your daily functioning—you may benefit from seeking out therapy with a trauma-informed provider.

How long does trauma therapy take?

Different types of therapy for trauma unfold on different timelines. Prolonged exposure therapy and cognitive processing therapy, for example, each take about three months, while trauma-informed CBT may last anywhere from 8 to 25 sessions. Other approaches, especially those that are less structured or that incorporate elements from multiple modalities, may be more open-ended, though many patients report feeling better within the first few months of treatment.

What happens if trauma is left untreated?

Unaddressed trauma can have serious—even devastating—effects on relationships, career, and day-to-day functioning. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can lead people to distrust or lash out at others, making it difficult to maintain intimate relationships; it can also trigger symptoms such as flashbacks or hyperreactivity that can interfere with a person’s ability to function effectively, personally and/or professionally. Some sufferers turn to drugs to find relief. Symptoms may lessen on their own with time, but there is no guarantee that PTSD will resolve on its own.

Can PTSD come back after treatment?

It is possible for PTSD symptoms to recur months or years after successful treatment. This is because, like most mental health disorders, it is not possible to “cure” PTSD, and stressful life events may cause symptoms to recur in even the most resilient individuals. There is no shame in re-experiencing PTSD symptoms nor in returning to therapy when such relapses occur; indeed, many forms of trauma therapy explicitly encourage periodic “maintenance sessions” to reinforce coping skills and ensure that symptoms stay manageable.
