No Way But Through
Transformational psychodynamic therapy for adults in Pennsylvania
Feeling Alone, At a Dead End?
If you’ve been feeling stuck in a cycle of frustration with your family or partner, are suffering from anxieties on a personal, national, or global scale, or you are yearning to explore and expand your own sexuality and pleasure, I can help. Whether you are looking to build the self-confidence to communicate and enforce healthy boundaries with your family, change dysfunctional dynamics with a romantic partner, release the tension of constant worry, or reconnect with what gives you pleasure, I can guide you to take that first step. Surviving my parents’ messy divorce when I was a teenager left me feeling like I didn’t have any outlet for my own feelings of anxiety, sadness, or anger. I found ways to cope that were self-harming for a period of time along with journeying through my own sexual self-discovery. Safe relationships with adults and therapy helped me learn, like my clients do, that I could feel even better and find new, satisfying ways of being if I spoke about and reprocessed my pain rather than keeping it inside or taking it out on myself.
Let’s Find Your Path Forward
I now help others to safely open doors to themselves that in other places in the world, they would never have the chance to. The hard work of learning how to prioritize and communicate my needs, how to set and enforce boundaries, and how to let go of things that are not within my control have allowed me to enjoy the life I’ve chosen as a therapist, mother, and wife in an open marriage. In our sessions, you will have the space and support to say whatever comes to mind without judgment in order to do the work of exploring your childhood, working through fear and anxiety, and getting to the root causes of your suffering so that your past doesn’t prevent you from creating the life you want. You will find it easier to make decisions for yourself faster, with more confidence and fewer “what ifs?” or regrets. What you want is important. Let’s travel the route you need to take there together.
Anxiety
Is anxiety preventing you from living your life to the fullest? If you are reacting to current situations with an outsized sense of worry or dread, avoiding activities you could enjoy because you are afraid of what might happen, anxiety has too much of a hold on your life.
Family Conflict
Do you keep having the same argument or frustrations with family, feeling unheard and hurt each time it comes up? Learn to stop the cycle by improving your communication and setting and enforcing healthy boundaries.
Sexuality
Are you feeling confused or unsatisfied and looking to better connect with your body and the pleasure it can provide? I can help you - with or without your partner - to explore your fantasies and desires around nontraditional relationships, kinks, gender, and expression.
Codependence
Is your relationship feeling suffocating, unfairly imbalanced, or otherwise unsustainable? You and your partner may feel trapped in routines and fights that have developed over the course of your relationship.
Hi, I'm Courtney.
I love helping others to safely open doors to themselves that in other places in the world they would never have the chance to, often from the starting point of asking the question - what do I want for myself? I’m a therapist for the deep work of exploring your family dynamics, working through anxiety, and getting to the root causes of your suffering so that your past doesn’t prevent you from having the life you want for your present and future.
