In the fall of 2023, Courtney joined the OTG family, where she brings a holistic approach to therapy. She emphasizes the emotional well-being of patients and the impact of comorbidities on their unique journeys, aiming to create a safe and nurturing environment for positive outcomes for every child and their family.
Outside of work, Courtney stays active with weightlifting, yoga, and escaping to the mountains to snowboard during the winter.
