Do you suffer from constant anxiety and or panic attacks? Do you have a history of loss, difficult relationships and other traumatic experiences that hurt when you think about them today? Well, you are not alone. Seeking counseling can be an anxious time for many people, yet I believe it can be the start of a positive and productive experience. I believe joining with my clients to create a therapy experience tailored to their individual needs is important. The therapy sessions will be a safe place to gain new skills to help you live a more prosperous and fulfilling life. I offer online therapy which provides convenience, privacy and affordability all in one place. There are so many different types of situations or experiences that can create a need for therapy. I have experience successfully helping people feel less depressed or anxious, build their parenting skills with strong-willed children, get through difficult life changes, improve their relationship with their partner or friends, and create a less stressful environment for themselves. I am trained in a few research-based treatments for trauma and parenting. I am a Faith Based Christian Therapist. I received my Bachelor's in Social Work from Morgan State University in Baltimore, Maryland and my Master's in Social Work from Stanislaus State in Turlock, California where I served 5 years as a Professor in the MSW Department teaching on The Effects of Childhood Trauma.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, (Tell me who you are, where you are from, what do you do and why you are here-why do you need therapy). Then we will dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions should you want to move forward with me.
I utilize the following CBT Trauma informed Trauma Focused Solution Focused Talk Therapy Mindfulness Motivational Interviewing Emotion Focused Narrative Therapy Reflective Listening Certified Grief Counseling DBT
I work well within the African American community working with victims of racial trauma.
I have experience working with several age groups but believe I am most effective with Adults 25 and older.

Just had my introductory appointment with Courtney, and am absolutely looking forward to continuing with her. She is warm, calming, and feels authentic, even with this first appointment. I am excited to grow with her help.

Very insightful, patient and kind. I had been wanting a Christian therapist, and God sent me just the one I needed.

Courtney has been an amazing therapist. She’s patient, supportive, and truly listens in a way that makes you feel understood. Her guidance has helped me see things more clearly and make real progress. I’m genuinely grateful for her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a therapist who really cares.
