Courtney is a Registered Clinical Counsellor whose main area of specialty is working with people struggling with disordered eating and eating disorders. She has worked on multidisciplinary teams with youth, adults and families in community-based eating disorder programs and in private practice.Â
Courtney strives to help people with eating challenges cultivate a safe and nourishing relationship with themselves, food, and with their bodies so that they can live fulfilling and authentic lives. She takes a responsive approach to feeding and is informed by a Health at Every Size (HAES) framework.
As the mother of a young child, Courtney is also passionate about perinatal mental health and loves working with folks who are pregnant, postpartum, or in the process of starting a family.Â
Courtney takes an anti-oppressive, client-centered, trauma-informed approach, using a blend of therapeutic modalities to fit the needs of each individual client. Somatic/body-based therapies, Internal Family Systems (IFS)/parts work/, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy are a few of the approaches she uses most often.
