“Affirmation: I am open to the possibility that things will turn out much better than I imagine.”
Hello, I'm Courtney (she/her) and I am an Associate Professional Clinical Counselor. I received my Master's Degree in Mental Health Counseling from Boston College and my Bachelor's Degree in Psychological Brain Sciences and Environmental Science from UC Santa Barbara. In my free time I love to read both Psychological Thrillers (Verity, Into the Darkest Corner) and Fantasy (Throne of Glass, Dawn of Onyx).
I love working with...
…teens, young adults, and couples. I have experience in working with anxiety, depression, attachment, trauma, and self-esteem.
Some of my favorite approaches include...
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and Attachment Theory, which I use to work alongside you and empower you to reach your therapeutic goals. I utilize person-centered therapy, where I place a strong emphasis on empathy, unconditional positive regard, and genuineness.
How I help...
I will meet you with warmth and empathy, ensuring you feel safe and comfortable in our space. My role as a therapist is to help you discover your inner strengths, enabling you to overcome challenges and reach your full potential. Together, we will identify and address the underlying issues that may be holding you back, and I will support you every step of the way.
I believe...
…that life can come with many difficulties and challenges, so it is very brave and admirable that you are looking for some support!
What it's like in session with me...
In session, you can expect a non-judgmental and welcoming environment where you can express your authentic self. I strive to foster rapport through a balance of both humor and conversation. Together, we will help you gain deeper insights into both yourself and your surroundings.
