Courtney is a Licensed Professional Counselor who has worked in the mental health field since 2008. She began working as a therapist in 2016 and has specialized in OCD, OCD spectrum disorders, and anxiety disorders since 2017. Prior to working as a therapist, she worked in community mental health providing intensive case management to people living with homelessness and later worked in crisis diversion services.
Courtney completed a Bachelor of Science in Psychology at Middle Tennessee State University and a Master of Education in Counseling and Human Development at Lindsey Wilson College. Following the completion of graduate school, Courtney pursued her passion for anxiety disorders at Rogers Behavioral Health. At Rogers, she worked for two years as a therapist in the OCD Partial Hospitalization Program and received training and supervision in both Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for OCD & anxiety disorders. In addition to ERP and CBT, Courtney utilizes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Cognitive Behavioral Intervention for Tics (CBIT) in her work with children, adolescents, and adults.
Courtney is passionate about empowering clients through education, skill-building, and exposure work. She views her role as a therapist as aiding anxiety sufferers in learning to shift from taking the perspective of fear to looking through the lens of curiosity. Her hope is that every client finishes their treatment experience living a life driven by personal values instead of fear and understanding what it means to coexist with anxiety.
Outside of the therapy room, she enjoys providing professional consultation, supervising clinic interns, and bringing awareness to OCD and ERP through public speaking. In her free time, she can be found scouring estate sales, laughing louder than most others, or playing with her rambunctious pups, Rosie and Fern.
