Courtney specializes in the evaluation and treatment of ADHD, anxiety disorders, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, mood disorders, and other psychiatric conditions. She believes that every patient deserves to feel heard, respected, and empowered throughout their treatment journey.

Patients appreciate Courtney's warm, nonjudgmental approach and her commitment to creating a safe space where they can openly discuss their concerns. She takes the time to understand each person's unique story and works closely with them to develop practical strategies that promote symptom improvement, resilience, and long-term success.

Your initial appointment is designed to help us gain a comprehensive understanding of your concerns, symptoms, medical history, and treatment goals. During this visit, we will discuss what has brought you to treatment, how your symptoms are affecting your daily life, and any previous experiences you have had with therapy, medications, or other mental health services.

I take a collaborative and patient-centered approach, which means I believe the best treatment plans are developed together. My goal is to create a safe, supportive, and judgment-free environment where you feel comfortable sharing your experiences and asking questions.
