Kortnie is a Licensed Professional Counselor serving individuals in Maryland and DC. Her journey into the counseling profession began as an unexpected shift, driven by her desire to create a safe and empowering space for clients from diverse backgrounds, particularly high-achieving BIPOC women who often juggle multiple roles while managing the pressures of societal expectations and personal ambitions. Her practice, Beneath the Surface, offers a supportive environment where clients can reconnect with their true selves, explore emotional pain, and deepen their understanding of relationships and personal patterns.
Guided by the motto "Uncover, Heal, Thrive," Kortnie’s approach blends insight-driven exploration with practical, skills-based techniques. She leverages the client-therapist relationship to empathetically support clients in addressing the root causes of their pain, focusing on self-compassion, empowerment, and embracing vulnerability as pathways to growth. With experience across a variety of settings, she effectively works with a range of issues, including high-functioning anxiety, depression, work stress, life transitions, relational trauma, and identity exploration.
Drawing from her own experiences, Kortnie brings a unique sensitivity to the challenges faced by millennial professionals, young adults, adults, and leaders navigating high-pressure environments. She remains committed to fostering an inclusive, welcoming space where clients are empowered to live authentically, build self-compassion, and find relief as they navigate life’s complexities.
