Hi there, I'm Kourtney!

I am passionate about helping you achieve a well-balanced, healthy lifestyle while discovering and enriching your uniqueness. I'm deeply committed to the therapeutic process and feel fulfilled creating positive change in others.

My focus

I provide a supportive, culturally competent, judgment-free environment tailored to your needs. I specialize in anxiety, depression, grief and loss, stress, life transitions, self-esteem, and relationship issues. I focus on skill-building as we work together to create a unique plan to enhance your strengths and reach your goals.

My approach

My approach is unstructured, using real-life application with an integrative blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy. I customize my approach to meet your needs.

My communication style

I am an active listener who creates a relaxing, nurturing space where you will feel supported and empowered. I help you identify where you are and where you want to be, then devise tangible objectives to get there. Through patience and acceptance, therapy aids in recognizing problems and developing self-awareness to change thoughts and behaviors.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist to help others realize we are all resilient beings capable of functioning better while working alongside life's challenges. Based on my own experience, I have learned the educational tools and coping skills to show up at my best despite life's hardships.

My goals for you

My goal is to help you learn different ways to cope by identifying problems blocking growth. I assist in changing ways of thinking and reacting to problems that occur in your life. I show great effort in normalizing therapy so we can heal as a whole.

Our first session

Our first session involves getting to know each other. I will learn about your social support, work, school, family, hobbies, and affiliations. It is important for me to create a safe space for you to share why you are seeking treatment and for us to build goals and practice strategies to help you reach your desired outcomes.
