“Courtney was wonderful. She was attentive, kind, and truly listened to my concerns without judgment. She created a comfortable, safe space where I felt heard and respected. I especially appreciated her willingness to individualize my care and collaborate on a plan that felt appropriate for me. Our conversation was thoughtful and never rushed. She’s also very responsive and replies to portal messages quickly, which makes communication seamless. I left feeling supported and confident in my care. Highly recommend.”

In the first few minutes of my appointment, I knew that Courtney would be my new provider. She is very organized, personable, and a great listener. My intake was not rushed and I felt like every need that I had would be addressed with sincerity, compassion, and what's best for my wellness. I felt comfortable with her from the start and as time progressed I learned a lot about my current course of treatment and co-created a plan moving forward that has been working out exceptionally well. Without reservation, I recommend that you book with her. You won't be disappointed.

Courtney is so amazing at what she does! The way she listens and empathizes with you and provides solutions that both parties are comfortable with was so amazing.

Courtney is exactly what I was looking for. She listens and really takes her time to think through treatment plans and explains everything very well. She really considered me as an individual and took my concerns seriously. She is no nonsense and gets right to the point, but is personable and friendly too.
Less than 6 months agoRachel L.Verified patientVideo visit
This provider (not sure if i can add her name) was great! She listened and she validated my concerns and feelings without the shame I’ve felt when I saw other providers. She was very patient with me, even when I forgot or didn’t understand the question, or if I lost my train of thought and had to circle back. Most importantly, she focused on what is the best plan for my treatment, and while I am usually reluctant to take new medications, I was so comfortable with her, I trust her expertise and her professionalism was top notch. Thank you, I look forward to seeing you again!!

She's amazing! She is helping me try different medications for my mental health and actually listening to me. This is the first time I felt heard by a provider.
August 26, 2025Cindy R.Verified patientVideo visit
Courtney seemed to place me in a box of a suspected disorder- seemingly based on my family history. I am mid crisis, and not struggling with mood imbalances, but trying to process grief and trauma. I am struggling only with anxiety, and she recommended antipsychotics. I was not a fan of the tone of her questions or communication. But she was a nice person!
Less than 1 year agoInitials hiddenVideo visit

If you’re looking for someone who’s warm but doesn’t sugarcoat, that’s her. She helped me figure out what was mine to carry and what I could finally set down. Life feels lighter now.
