Courtney believes therapy is a journey of great courage worth starting today! Getting on a path of curiosity with a therapist as your guide can lead to improve thinking, feeling, and behaving. Let’s work together to find your strengths or build strengths as you explore new paths of possibility. We all need support so why not seek support from someone that has compassion and empathy; as well as, education and experience to help navigate forward. It is never too late to begin anew!
