Courtney is passionate about providing meaningful support and services to everyone she works with. She takes pride in being compassionate, personable, approachable, and culturally sensitive. With an eclectic therapy approach, she strives to create a safe environment emphasizing partnership with her clients in working through current struggles whether that be depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar or borderline personality disorder. "I aspire to provide individualized support and tools to help you create positive change in every aspect of your life."

Guided by an overarching humanistic perspective, I believe individuals possess an innate motivation for personal growth. Life provides occasional, and sometimes persistent, obstacles that hinder our motivation to endure the emotional turbulence accompanying the path to our full potential. A person’s journey is as unique as their fingerprint, and the therapeutic process is no different. Whether your goals are interrupted due to internal or external factors, I strive to deliver treatment catered to the individual and their influences.

I help kids, teens and adults learn to be kinder to themselves. Most of my clients come to my office having spent years trying to be perfect, talking negatively to themselves and feeling loads of shame. Perhaps they suspect they have anxiety, depression or PTSD from some of the things they have been through. If this sounds like you, please know, you are worthy of a life that is joyful and authentic; I would love to help you work through whatever roadblocks are standing in the way of that!

We all carry a lot inside that others may not realize. I have personally experienced the power and hope that comes from having someone to come alongside and listen. I provide a safe space for my clients to express emotions and words as they work out life's challenges. I approach therapy from an individual and whole-person approach, looking at health from an emotional, physical, spiritual, social, and mental perspective. My Christian faith has been an integral part of my own healing, and I enjoy helping clients integrate their spirituality into the therapeutic work, if desired.

I utilize an integrative approach to therapy. My primary treatment approach is client centered therapy which allow me to follow my clients lead in session. This approach also assists clients with self-actualization and growth. One of the most important primary needs of individuals is to have secure emotional attachments. Therefore, I utilize a systems approach and attachment processes in my work with couples and families. I have a special interest in working with veterans and active duty military couples and families.

I am a Licensed Clinical Specialist Social Worker and Sex Therapist currently achieving a discipline towards a PHD in Clinical Sexology. I work with individuals and families. I am eclectically trained in areas of marriage/couples counseling, family structured therapy, behavior management/modification therapy, forensic social work, motivational interviewing, narrative approach, person-centered therapy, cognitive behavior therapy, comorbidity diagnosis and solution focused therapy.

“I believe everyone deserves a chance; a chance at happiness, a chance at love, a chance at life, any CHANCE! I find extreme purpose as I assist individuals to find what satisfies them as well as presented barriers, restrictions, and issues faced in their journey. I strive to support them in finding peace and finding their own purpose.” My personal choices have lead me towards a career of advocacy and service on behalf of the abused, neglected and traumatized due to family violence and sexual assault. “Whatever issue you may be facing, you do not have to do so alone. Allow me to join you on the journey to find the Greater in YOU!”

I work one-on-one with individuals from childhood through adulthood who need support in all areas of their life such as anxiety, depression, behavioral/emotional management, school-related concerns, relationship issues, life stresses, and adjustments in different stages of life.
