I am a therapist who helps individuals explore their relationships—with themselves, partners, family, and others—on a deeper level. My work focuses on understanding how childhood experiences and attachment patterns shape current relationship dynamics. Many clients come to me experiencing anxiety, stress, anger, depression, or the impact of trauma. Together, we work to identify patterns, break cycles, and build healthier, more secure relationships grounded in self-awareness and emotional safety.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Your first session is a calm, supportive space to share what’s bringing you to therapy. We’ll explore your current concerns, relationship patterns, and goals, while moving at a pace that feels safe. There’s no pressure—just space to begin understanding your experiences.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My greatest strength is helping clients make sense of their relationship patterns and how early experiences continue to shape their lives. I work well with individuals who struggle with people-pleasing, weak boundaries, low self-confidence, emotional reactivity, or repeated unhealthy relationships. Through insight, emotional awareness, and skill-building, I help clients develop healthier boundaries, stronger self-trust, and more secure, fulfilling relationships.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I work with clients who want to understand their relationship dynamics on a deeper level and explore how childhood experiences impact current relationships. Many struggle with people-pleasing, poor boundaries, low self-confidence, emotional overwhelm, or repeating unhealthy patterns. Therapy focuses on increasing self-awareness, building healthier boundaries, and developing more secure, fulfilling relationships.

My treatment methods

Trauma-Focused CBT

I integrate TF-CBT, narrative, and attachment-based approaches to help clients understand how past experiences shape current thoughts, emotions, and relationships. Together, we explore personal stories, identify unhelpful patterns, and build emotional regulation and coping skills. This work supports healing, self-trust, and healthier relationship dynamics in a safe, supportive space.

I was searching through all of the providers selected for me from my filtering and for whatever reason (at that time) I kept coming back to Dr. Kortney. I came back to her 4 times. Scheduled my first session and I don’t regret it one bit! I’m beyond happy I chose her. She is warm, she is welcoming, she is direct, she is comforting, she has awesome ideas and makes me connect dots I never even knew would connect. After each session I feel relieved, I feel empowered and ready for what I need to do.

I’ve never felt more aligned with a therapist, and I’m so grateful for the care and clarity Dr. Clinton brings to every session. What sets her apart is how intentional and empowering her approach is. She provides thoughtful exercises and tools that help me continue the work between sessions, which has made a real difference in my growth. She asks the kinds of questions that make you pause and truly reflect, helping you discover insights that stick—not just in the moment, but long after.
