Welcome.

My name is Courtney. I’m a psychotherapist and Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Chicago, Illinois. My lived experience and my clinical training have taught me a lot about healing the relationship with myself. It can be challenging, intimidating, and uncertain, but I firmly believe it's essential for living a life of meaning and connection. I would be grateful to help you find what you need to create a rich and fulfilling life.

I received my Master’s degree in clinical social work from Michigan State University, my Bachelor’s degree in generalist social work from University of Michigan and have a decade of experience working in the mental health field.

My focus areas include:

• Trauma, complex trauma and PTSD

• Emotional abuse and neglect

• Complex family dynamics/Generational trauma

• General and social anxiety

• Relationship and intimacy concerns

• Sobriety curiosity

• Identity and self-esteem

• Life transitions

I’m trauma-informed, LGBTQ+ allied and social justice allied.

Throughout my career, I have experience in the non-profit setting where I conducted research, completed grant writing and provided services to individuals and families impacted by incarceration and the Flint water crisis. I gained experience working with individuals experiencing mood, anxiety and trauma-related disorders in residential (RES), partial hospitalization (PHP) and intensive outpatient (IOP) and outpatient (OP) levels of care. I have also provided psychotherapy and assertive community treatment in the community mental health setting.

When I'm not working, I recharge by taking mindful strolls in the park, doodling, hitting the gym, practicing yoga, or catching live concerts. Nature is a big source of inspiration for me, and I'm certified in Wilderness First Aid. I'm a lifelong learner and love devouring books. Oh, and I have a cat who might pop in with her cute face during our teletherapy sessions!
