Courtney (she/her/hers) is a licensed independent social worker that works out of the West Des Moines location in person and via telehealth. I have experience as a therapist in the community mental health and advocacy with domestic violence cases. As a therapist, I am dedicated to creating a safe and affirming space for all my clients, where you can explore your thoughts and feelings without judgment. My approach is grounded in active listening, ensuring you feel heard and understood as we work together on your unique journey.

With a focus on trauma work, I specialize in EMDR therapy, a powerful tool that can help process and heal from traumatic experiences. I understand that each person's story is different, and I tailor treatment plans to meet your specific needs, whether you're navigating life transitions, managing anxiety, or working through mood disorders. I also have experience working with individuals who struggle with codependency, helping you establish healthier boundaries and foster a more balanced sense of self.

I am also proud to be an LGBTQ+ affirming therapist, committed to supporting individuals from all backgrounds and identities. My goal is to empower you to find clarity and resilience in your life, helping you move forward with confidence and strength.

Together, we can navigate the challenges you face and cultivate the skills you need to thrive. I look forward to the opportunity to support you on this journey!
