Hi, I’m Courtney.
Therapy is a space where you get to be fully yourself. Feeling safe is at the heart of everything we do together, both in our relationship and in helping you feel more at home in your own body. Every session is shaped around you, your strengths, your challenges, and the larger forces that have influenced your story. Together, we'll work toward finding your voice, moving in the direction that matters to you, and building a life that feels more like your own.
My path to counseling started in tech, where I spent more than a decade leading teams through change and complexity. That work gave me a deep respect for how hard it is to navigate life's transitions, and how much it matters to feel genuinely seen along the way. In our work together, I'll meet you as a whole person, and we'll move at your pace as we explore the memories and emotions that shape your life.
Clinical Specialties
I work with individuals, couples, families, and adolescents. I have a particular passion for supporting survivors of coercive or high-control environments, including abusive relationships, cults, spiritual abuse, and the troubled teen industry.
These experiences can leave you feeling confused, exhausted, and disconnected from yourself. Together, we'll make sense of what happened and separate what is true to you from what others have placed on you. You are the expert on your own life, and I would be honored to help you reclaim your sense of agency.
