Meet Courtney

My focus is on helping couples rebuild trust, communicate openly, and reconnect after periods of disconnection or conflict. I also work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, and the lingering impact of relational trauma. I especially enjoy working with couples in non-traditional relationships—whether that means open relationships, queer partnerships, or those redefining what connection looks like. I bring warmth, curiosity, and a grounded approach to helping people feel seen and supported in their relationships—with others and themselves.

Interests

Beyond my role as a mental health professional, I find joy and rejuvenation in various interests. Exploring the world of gardening and visiting plant stores is not just a hobby but a source of serenity for me. Outside these pursuits, spending cherished moments with my furry friends and loved ones adds a vital dimension to my life, reinforcing the importance of connection and balance in my own well-being.
