Hi there, I'm Christy!

Starting therapy can be overwhelming. I believe everyone deserves a space to share without judgment or fear. I use a client-centered approach and provide a supportive, empathetic environment. I specialize in childhood trauma, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem. Together, we can navigate life's challenges and help you achieve your goals.

My focus

I work with teens and adults navigating childhood trauma, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and life stressors. Together, we identify coping techniques for challenging situations and develop a plan that supports your growth and development.

My approach

Each person has unique challenges. I take time to determine what works best for you. We develop your plan together as you identify your therapy goals. I use Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness-Based Techniques to support your growth.
