Great to meet you!

Hello! My name is Courtney and I am a licensed social worker with experience working with people of all ages. I consider my approach to treatment to be strengths-based, neuroaffirming, trauma-informed, and holistic. In addition to private practice, my experience includes providing in-home services to children and teens diagnosed with severe mental illness, and working with people struggling with substance abuse. I place a high value on continuing education so that I can provide you with the best care possible.

My work in this field has prepared me to work with you or your child on various issues such as:

  • OCD
  • Phobias
  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Trauma
  • Relationships and attachment
  • Autism and ADHD
  • Behavioral concerns
  • Social skills
  • Burnout recovery
  • Stress
  • Self-esteem;
  • And navigating daily life.

My approach to therapy

I utilize a variety of treatment modalities to meet the needs of each individual I am working with, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Child-Centered Play Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy. I have completed extensive training in Exposure and Response Prevention, and I am passionate about working with people struggling with OCD, phobias, and anxiety.

What you can expect from me

In our first session we typically discuss your goals and review what treatment will look like for you. I tailor my approach to fit the needs of each person.
