Hello! My name is Courtney and I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) working with couples and individuals. 

I completed my Master of Arts in Counselling and Psychotherapy at Yorkville University, along with an undergraduate degree from Carleton University. What matters most to me in our sessions together is creating a safe, supportive space where clients feel truly seen and understood.

With couples, I support partners in strengthening their connection, navigating family planning, healing from relational wounds, and building secure, lasting bonds.

With individuals, I help clients manage stress, anxiety, and life’s challenges through a balance of emotional insight and practical strategies. I particularly enjoy working with mothers and parents, as I believe this is one of the most challenging yet rewarding periods in a person’s life. Navigating the postpartum period as a new mom can be so challenging and the strain this can place on the couple’s relationship is often overlooked in the busy days of caring for small kids. I enjoy helping moms and parents navigate this tricky period together. 

My approach is integrative, drawing from CBT, ACT, EFT, DBT, and Psychodynamic Therapy—tailored to the unique needs of each client. Clients often share that they value my warm, empathetic presence combined with solution-focused strategies that foster clarity, resilience, and confidence.

On a personal note – I am a mother, an avid runner, and a former ballet dancer – I’ve come to value the qualities of focus, determination, and patience through all these roles and I bring these same qualities into my work with clients. I know that growth and change take both perseverance and compassion, and my goal is to hold space that always reflects both.

At the heart of my work is the belief that everyone has the capacity for growth and meaningful change. I’m committed to breaking down the stigma around therapy and helping people build lives that feel balanced, connected, and fulfilling.
