Hi, I'm Courtney.

If you're here, something probably needs to change — and you're ready to do something about it. Whether you're carrying old trauma, drowning in anxiety, or you've just hit a wall you can't push through alone, this is a good place to land. My approach is direct and practical, but I'm not here to make you uncomfortable for the sake of it. Sarcasm is my love language, and I believe therapy should feel like a real conversation — not a performance.

I knew in 10th grade.

Psychology was the only class that felt urgent to me. I wasn't just interested in how people think — I wanted to understand how they survive, how they carry impossible things, and what it actually takes to help them set those things down. That curiosity never left.

First responders and veterans aren't just a specialty — they're my family.

My father is a Desert Storm Army combat veteran who was diagnosed with PTSD. I watched him struggle for years, and I watched our family struggle alongside him — navigating a VA system that wasn't built for clarity or ease. I became his advocate because someone had to be. That experience taught me more about what untreated trauma does to a person, and to the people who love them, than any textbook ever could. I come from a long line of people who serve — both grandfathers, my uncles, my father. My grandmother was a nurse and my first real hero. When someone in uniform sits across from me, I'm not treating them as a clinical category. I understand the culture, the silence, and the reasons they've waited this long.

I know what it feels like to need support, too.

My own history with anxiety — the pressure to perform, the replaying, the exhaustion of looking fine on the outside — is part of why I work the way I do. I'm also a cancer survivor. Navigating a serious diagnosis while continuing to show up for everyone else in your life teaches you things about vulnerability, fear, and the importance of having someone in your corner that you simply can't learn any other way. I bring all of that into the room, along with humor, honesty, and a genuine belief that people are more capable of change than they give themselves credit for.
