Hi there, I'm Kourtney! Congratulations! You have officially taken the first step! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and National Certified Counselor who is passionate about the therapeutic process and am deeply committed to helping others achieve a well-balanced, healthy lifestyle while discovering and enriching the uniqueness of oneself. I’m very fortunate to have a career where I feel fulfilled and help create a positive change in others. I became a therapist to help others realize that we are all resilient beings capable of functioning better while working alongside life’s challenges. Based on my own experience as an adult, I too have had to learn the appropriate educational tools and coping skills to show up each day at my best …despite life’s hardships. My goal for every one of my clients is to learn different ways to cope with issues by identifying problems that are blocking growth. I strive to assist others on how to alter their ways of thinking and reacting to problems that occur in their lives. I show great effort in normalizing therapy so that we can heal ….as a whole. I look forward to taking this walk with you!

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

My therapeutic approach is unstructured, using real-life application along with an integrative approach encompassing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness-Based Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). I believe in customizing my approach to therapy to meet your needs.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I have a special interest in providing a supportive, culturally competent, judgment-free environment, specifically tailored to the needs of my clients. I specialize in addressing anxiety and depression, grief and loss, stress-related issues, life transitions, self-esteem, and relationship and intimacy-related issues. I focus on skill building while beginning where you are as we work together to create a unique plan to enhance your strengths, meet your needs, and reach your goals. I strive to encourage and challenge others to be the best version of themselves.
