Her practice emphasizes open communication, mutual trust, and collaboration to ensure therapeutic success and meaningful personal growth. Prior to pursuing her passion in psychotherapy, Courtney spent over 15 years as a 911 first responder and a respiratory therapist in hospital settings.

In her free time, Courtney loves spending quality moments outdoors with her family. She is also an enthusiastic animal lover, sharing her home with two beloved dogs. Additionally, Courtney enjoys attending church and nurturing her spirituality whenever possible. If you're seeking a warm, supportive, and culturally mindful therapy experience, Courtney is here to guide you every step of the way.
