• Depression and persistent low mood
• Anxiety and overwhelming stress
• Anger and emotional regulation challenges
• Low self-esteem and self-worth concerns
• Identity exploration and life transitions
• Grief and loss
• Family conflict and relationship challenges

​

This experience allows therapy to be approached with both cultural awareness and sensitivity to each client’s lived experience.
A Therapy Experience That Is Supportive and Practical
Courtney’s therapeutic style focuses on creating a space where clients can openly explore their experiences while also gaining practical tools to apply in their daily lives. Her work emphasizes:
• Developing greater self-awareness
• Identifying patterns in thoughts, behaviors, and relationships
• Strengthening emotional regulation and coping skills
• Building confidence and resilience
• Working toward meaningful and realistic personal goals
Sessions are designed to feel both supportive and engaging, with a balance of insight, humor, and problem-solving. Clients are encouraged to actively participate in the process while building skills that support long-term growth and emotional wellness.
Evidence-Based Treatment Approaches
Therapy sessions may incorporate a range of evidence-based modalities depending on your individual needs and goals, including:
• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
• Motivational Interviewing (MI)
• Prolonged Exposure Therapy
• Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Courtney values motivational interviewing as an effective approach for short-term care and goal-oriented work. She also integrates mindfulness-based strategies and self-care practices to support emotional regulation and overall well-being.
A Collaborative and Culturally Aware Approach
Courtney understands that each client brings unique experiences, values, and perspectives into the therapy process. As a Black therapist, she is committed to providing care that is culturally aware, respectful, and responsive to the needs of diverse populations.
​
She also recognizes that personal beliefs and faith can play an important role in healing. For individuals seeking a Christian-informed perspective, therapy can incorporate discussions that align with faith, values, and personal meaning.
​
Coordination of care is also a priority, and when appropriate, clients may be connected with relevant and affordable community resources to support their overall well-being.
