About me

teen counselor

Hi, I’m Courtney, founder of Restore Counseling. I work with teens, young adults, women, and moms who are struggling with anxiety, depression, low confidence, identity struggles overwhelm, and life transitions. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, understood, and supported as we work toward healing and lasting change.

I use a compassionate, practical approach to help clients better understand themselves, build confidence, manage anxiety, and develop healthier ways of coping. Therapy with me is warm, supportive, and grounded in cognitive - behavioral therapy tools you can use in everyday life.

The office was designed to feel like an exhale. Floor-to-ceiling windows overlook a sprawling, leafy green tree and the surrounding woods—bringing nature's calm right into the room. The light is soft. The view is grounding. And the space? Minimalist and warm, with just enough cozy—like the inviting couch that’s seen more healing conversations than most people’s journals.

Beyond the credentials

My faith is an important part of who I am, and it shapes the way I move through the world with compassion, humility, and hope. I welcome clients from all backgrounds and beliefs, and Christian counseling is available when requested, always in a way that honors your goals and values.

Outside of the office, I’m a wife and mom who values authenticity, connection, and creating spaces where people feel safe to be fully themselves. I believe healing happens best when people feel seen, respected, and supported just as they are.
