I’m Courtney and so happy you’re here! As a mom of three wonderful kids, my world revolves around their growth and happiness. Graduating from the University of Alabama with a degree in Early Childhood Education, with a concentration in child development. I started my career as a teacher, excited to nurture young minds. When my middle son faced struggles with communication, it hit close to home. I went back to school to truly understand how to help him, which sparked a deep passion within me to help other children find their voices too.

Earning my master’s degree from the University of Akron opened doors to diverse experiences—from private practices to elementary schools, senior nursing homes, and outpatient clinics. Each step deepened my commitment to empowering kids with the tools they need to express themselves confidently. But it doesn’t stop there—supporting parents with practical, heart-centered strategies is just as important to me. Together, we can navigate every little milestone, celebrate every breakthrough, and make sure no voice goes unheard.
