Hi, I’m Courtney, a spiritual psychologist and guide through our inner life.

I founded Awakening Heart Awareness in 2008— a private practice dedicated to the deeper awareness that allows real change to emerge.

About Awakening Heart Awareness

A foundational perspective of Awakening Heart Awareness is the recognition that people are not fundamentally broken. The challenges individuals experience often arise from patterns of thought, emotion, and perception that have developed over time—not from any deficiency in the person themselves. When these patterns are understood within awareness, they can begin to loosen and reorganize.Through this approach, we recognize it’s not about fixing or improving a person, but about recognizing the inherent wholeness already present and allowing clearer awareness to reveal new possibilities for living.

For nearly twenty years, Awakening Heart Awareness has been dedicated to bringing these patterns shaping our circumstances, situations, relationships, finances, health, and careers into clear view through which change can naturally occur.

Over time, a greater sense of freedom, peace, and authentic expression begins to emerge—as a deeper intelligence within begins reorganizing our system.

Driven by transparency

Many thoughtful, capable people find Awakening Heart Awareness when they sense the patterns shaping and influencing their lives no longer reflect who they are.

They’ve often explored therapy, coaching, workshops, and books, yet feel something’s missing. In this work, change isn’t the result of a technique alone, but the unfolding that occurs through the presence and awareness of two people engaged in sincere inquiry.

From this place of shared attention, people often begin to discover new ways of relating to themselves, to others, to the life their living, their future, and their meaningful contribution.

Clients over the years have included New York Times bestselling authors, academics, scientists, creative artists, entrepreneurs, psychologists, healers, medical practitioners, parents, students, and more.

If something in this work resonates with you,
I invite you to begin a conversation. You can also continue exploring the website—and learn more about why patterns continue to repeat and the interdisciplinary approach of Awakening Heart Awareness.

Welcome.

The Patterns Shaping Our Lives

Why do patterns repeat themselves no matter how much we try to change them?

An Interdisciplinary Approach

Awakening Heart Awareness recognizes patterns aren’t fixed, people aren’t broken, and no one needs to improve. This subtle difference in approach can make all the difference.

If you’re feeling something’s ready to shift in your life, or you’re being called to understand something in your life more deeply, the first step is beginning the conversation. A consultation can help you determine if Awakening Heart Awareness is the right fit for you.
