LCSW, 3 years of experience
Hi, I’m Courtney a therapist who believes in honest conversations and creating space for real healing. I understand what it’s like to carry a lot while still trying to show up every day. Whether you’re navigating chronic illness, identity, burnout, or the weight of “having to be strong,” you don’t have to do it alone. We’ll talk, laugh, cry, reflect, and build new tools that actually work in your real life. If you’ve been holding everything together for everyone else, this space is for you. Together, we’ll explore what healing looks like for you one conversation at a time.
In our first session, you can expect a welcoming, judgment-free space where we begin building a foundation of trust. I’ll ask questions to get to know your story, challenges, and what led you to therapy while also giving you space to share at your own pace. We’ll talk about what you hope to get out of therapy, and I’ll explain how I work so you feel comfortable moving forward. Most importantly, my goal is to make sure you feel seen, supported, and safe as we begin this journey together.
One of my greatest strengths as a therapist is my ability to hold space with deep empathy, honesty, and intention. I don’t just listen, I truly see people. My lived experience navigating chronic illness, motherhood, and personal transformation allows me to connect with clients in a way that’s authentic and grounded. I understand what it means to show up even when life feels heavy, and I bring that same compassion and resilience into every session. To learn more visit my website www.purpleelephantcollective.com
My ideal clients are individuals who are ready to explore their inner world and take steps toward healing, even if the path feels uncertain. Many are navigating life with chronic illnesses, stress, anxiety, or unresolved trauma, and are looking for a therapist who truly sees them. They may feel overwhelmed, spiritually disconnected, or emotionally drained and they’re seeking a space where they can be honest, vulnerable, and supported. Whether you’re trying to make sense of your story or reclaim your sense of self, I’m here to walk with you at your pace.
CBT helps my clients challenge unhelpful thoughts and beliefs that often fuel anxiety, depression, and self doubt. Together, we’ll reframe negative thinking and develop healthier patterns that support your mental, emotional, and physical well-being.
Whether you’ve experienced emotional trauma, medical trauma, or childhood wounds, create a space where your story is honored and healing becomes possible. I integrate trauma-informed principles and techniques (including EMDR-informed tools and TF-CBT strategies) to help you feel safe, seen, and supported.
gentle mind-body practices, grounding techniques, and mindfulness to help you slow down, reconnect with your body, and feel more present in your daily life.
You already hold so many strengths — sometimes you just need the right space to rediscover them.

From day one, I got a sense that Courtney wanted me to get the best out of the reason I started therapy
