LCSW, 20 years of experience
I am a strength based therapist who seeks to normalize mental health to underserved and marginalized individuals and communities with the goal of creating a safe space to heal and grow. I have extensive experience working with individuals who have experienced trauma, grief and loss and are seeking support and ways to manage their symptoms. I understand that the client is the expert of their own life and I am here to support them in achieving their goals.
We will gather demographic and historical information as well as assess current symptoms or issues which will help guide the establishment of treatment goals and therapeutic interventions.
I have a unique ability to connect with most people and create an environment that feels safe and comfortable. I also can be direct in a way that doesn’t feel judgmental but also pushes my clients towards positive change and growth.
I work with all people with an emphasis on underserved and underrepresented communities such as communities of color and the LGBTQ community.
I use CBT to help clients learn to understand the relationship between their thoughts and actions and how to change negative thoughts and behaviors
Assist client in identifying their specific attachment style and how issues of abandonment, neglect or emotional unavailability may be impacting the clients ability to form meaning and healthy attachments
Facilitate healthy dialogue and conflict resolution skills for couples struggling with various issues such as communication and intimacy.
Create a space for mutual communication and reestablishment of parent/child connection while helping to unpack current dysfunctional patterns that are negatively impacting the relationship
Use of psycho education, trauma narrative and coping skills to help client work through past compounding trauma.

Courtney was very easy to talk to , was able to help me identify the roots of my trauma and offer great advice/tools, all during my first session. I am excited to work with her and an extremely optimistic about my future!
