My expertise is in treating trauma, addiction and mental health concerns in a holistic and body connected manner. I know these experiences can impact EVERY aspect of our lives and I am passionate about helping people lessen that negative impact. I'm skilled at providing a comfortable, social atmosphere to explore issues. I focus on 'the real shit' with a strong dose of humor and provide each person I see with an individualized and evidence based plan particularly suited for their own healing and recovery. We have survived 100% of our worst days. We've got this one.
Some people come to counseling to accomplish a structured and measurable goal. Some people come for self reflection and self improvement. Some people come to heal old wounds. The beauty is that your goals are my goals.
I'll come to the table with positivity, realism and feedback on how to use your strengths to get to where you want to be. Rumi says; "Look inside yourself; everything that you want, you already are."

Kourtney is absolutely amazing. She is so understanding and is a great listener. She is able to challenge your unhelpful beliefs without it feeling confrontational. She was able to supply homework that was relivant to what I was going through. I'd highly recommend her!

Kourtney is a fantastic counselor! She is readily available and has proven to be an adept guide to growth and understanding, more suggestive than assertive. I have already seen much self-improvement through her counseling.
