About me

I am a relational style therapist who believes relationships and how connected we feel to other people really impact our well-being. I also believe that we all have unique backgrounds that should be taken into consideration especially when discussing concerns in therapy. I have a passion for social justice advocacy and believe clients' identities and the systems we live in can significantly impact their lives. As a therapist, I try my best to make work we do feel empowering for clients.

Get to know me

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

I want clients to walk away from sessions feeling validated and empowered to take on the challenges in their lives. To feel like change is possible and that the steps they are taking in the present will help them get there.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My greatest strength is my ability to provide a safe space for my clients to discuss their concerns without feeling judged or criticized. I also meet clients where they are at in regards to their readiness for change.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I believe therapy should be a healthy, collaborative connection between myself and my clients. I want my client to feel comfortable voicing their concerns in our sessions and feel motivated to work toward making changes in their lives. Any clients that are open to or need a push toward change are welcome!

I've only had one session with Kortney, but I was so relieved with how easy it was to talk with her. It felt like a genuine conversation. I didn't feel like I was being judged, but that she really listened to what I was saying in order to get a clearer picture of who I am. I'm excited to continue working with Kortney.

Kortney takes the time to get to the root of the problem. She listens intently, reflects, and gives you insights into things you just gloss over. She knows more is there and dives deeper into the discussion. I can feel myself growing and becoming a better human being. Kortney is giving me more tools to handle life because life be lifing.
