Courtney is pro-women and a strong-willed feminist. Women experience this world in unique ways and honoring those experiences as not only authentic but truly valid, is vital to our success. Cultural oppression may have painted women as weak but this message is fueled by the fear of women's true power. Self-realization and self-love are the tools women need to escape the confinement of projected ideals of women.

In the words of feminist icon Betty Friedan, “Who knows what women can be when they are finally free to become themselves?” It is one of my greatest passions and honors to support other women in the process of unshackling themselves from the internalized patriarchy, sloughing off the illusions of “not good enough”, “too much”, and “good girls don’t . . . “ to liberate the authentic expression of the wise woman within.

I have experience working with women of all ages, and love to help women (and girls!) through the concerns they are facing at all stages of development.

There are so many issues that women face outside of the perinatal period, such as the decision not to have children or the different forms of bias and sexism we face in the world. From a feminist lens, I support my clients as they process how their identity as a woman and cyclical nature of the physical components of the female body can impact mood, relationships, and life.

I support women in exploring areas of sexual identity, vaginal pain, sexual pleasure, and sexual trauma. Additionally, with a background in reproductive health, I support women who are managing pregnancy, IVF, postpartum depression, and navigating ever-changing identities.

I work with woman & teen girls in a variety of issues. Such as Anxiety, Depression, Stress, Self-esteem issues, Parenting, Teen dating abuse, Body Image issues, and Intergenerational truama. I enjoy working with woman & teenage girls. It's becoming increasingly difficult for woman & teens to feel like they fit in, to not feel marginalized, isolated, or rejected from their peers and society. I encourage and teach woman/teens to accept themselves, stay true to who they are.

A large part of my professional experience is working with young women as they navigate the patriarchal society we live in and the resulting difficulties, trauma, and marginalization women experience (with intersectional identities resulting in additional marginalization).
