Integrating a holistic approach, Courtney honors the whole person—body, mind, and spirit. She recognizes that a person's emotional, physical, and relational worlds are deeply connected, and deliberately avoids rigid, one-size-fits-all boxes. Instead, she creates a compassionate, radically inclusive environment grounded in the belief that true healing requires absolute safety. In this welcoming space, clients are invited to explore challenges with curiosity rather than judgment.
To foster sustainable, meaningful change and build emotional resilience, Courtney customizes her care to each individual, couple, or family. She dynamically blends practical, evidence-based tools—including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)—with deeper psychodynamic insights, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing.
This integrative perspective is grounded in over 20 years of professional practice. Having spent decades supporting diverse populations, youth, and families within special education and community systems, Courtney possesses a sharp, empathetic understanding of both the innate strengths individuals carry and the steep systemic barriers they face across their lifespans. By combining this deep systemic insight with versatile clinical tools, she guides her clients safely toward lasting growth and self-discovery.
