Marriage & Family Therapist

Hi, I'm Courtney.

I’m a Marriage & Family Therapist, Licensed Independent Chemical Dependency Counselor, and Relationship & Life Coach with more than six years of clinical experience working with individuals, couples, and families through some of life’s most difficult and transformative seasons.

I’m especially passionate about working with women and individuals who feel like they’ve lost themselves somewhere along the way. You may be navigating relationship struggles, a major shift in your identity, the effects of trauma, or the emotional impact of addiction—whether addiction has been part of your own story or has affected someone you love. Sometimes you know exactly what needs to change but feel stuck in the same patterns. Other times, you simply know that the way things are isn’t working anymore.

A central part of my work is helping you reconnect with you. When you’ve spent years taking care of everyone else, keeping the peace, seeking approval, or measuring your worth through your relationships, it can be difficult to know where other people end and you begin. I help clients recognize patterns of codependency, people-pleasing, attachment wounds, and unhealthy relationship dynamics while building stronger boundaries, greater confidence, and a more grounded sense of self-worth.

My goal isn’t to tell you who you should be. It’s to help you understand yourself more deeply, trust your own voice, and create a life and relationships that feel authentic to you.

I also work extensively with couples experiencing communication breakdowns, emotional distance, recurring conflict, trust injuries, and the effects of addiction or trauma within their relationship. Often, couples find themselves having the same argument over and over without really understanding what is happening underneath it. I help partners slow those patterns down, identify the deeper needs and emotions driving them, and learn new ways of communicating and connecting.

In couples therapy, I believe there is room for two things to be true at the same time: the relationship can need healing, and each person can need space to grow individually. My work focuses on helping couples create healthier patterns, develop a deeper understanding of one another, rebuild trust when possible, and create a relationship that feels more secure, honest, and connected.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, relational, compassionate, and direct when it needs to be. I draw from humanistic, systemic, and attachment-based approaches because I don’t believe people exist in isolation. Our experiences, relationships, families, and histories shape how we learn to connect with others—and how we learn to see ourselves.

I believe healing often begins with understanding: understanding why certain patterns developed, recognizing when they are no longer serving you, and learning that you have the ability to choose something different. Therapy is not about becoming a completely different person. It is often about finding your way back to yourself.

Outside of the therapy room, I create therapeutic resources and educational content designed to help people continue learning, reflecting, and growing in their everyday lives. I offer both in-person and telehealth services because I believe therapy should be accessible and flexible enough to meet you where you are.
