Hi, I'm Courtney, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Georgia dedicated to helping adults navigate life's challenges with clarity, confidence, and purpose. I primarily work with adults (18+) experiencing anxiety, depression, and adjustment-related challenges, including major life transitions, daily stress, and difficulty regaining balance. Many of the people I work with are seeking practical tools, self-awareness, and confidence to move forward. I take a direct, collaborative approach to therapy, helping clients recognize the strengths they already possess while developing strategies that support meaningful, lasting change.

I believe therapy works best when it's supportive and honest. My approach is direct, compassionate, and collaborative. Rather than focusing on what's "wrong," I help clients identify patterns keeping them stuck, build on their strengths, and develop practical strategies for everyday life. My goal is to help you leave therapy feeling confident and resilient.

I became a therapist because I realized how much earlier access to support could have changed the lives of my loved ones. That experience inspires my belief that no one should have to face life's challenges alone. Whatever brought you here, you deserve to feel heard, supported, and empowered. I would be honored to walk alongside you on your journey.
