Life is challenging but finding a therapist to help you navigate those challenges does not have to be. Taking the first steps to becoming mentally healthy and well is an act of bravery; I applaud you for taking those steps today. I am passionate about the therapeutic process and believe the key to successful therapy is the development of a strong, therapeutic relationship. I have extensive experience helping individuals who struggle with serious mental illness, addiction, trauma, sexual disorders, depression, anxiety, emotional overwhelm, life transitions, relationship issues, and family conflict. Additionally, I have special expertise in working with unresolved attachment and intimacy issues. By using proven treatment methods, together we will explore self-defeating thought patterns and unhealthy behaviors, which may have blocked the path to becoming who you were meant to be. We will develop tools that will help you live a more present and purposeful life. For me, being a part of your therapeutic process, hearing your story, and witnessing your journey to self-healing is a privilege.
During our first session, you can expect to be fully heard and understood while we work together to identify treatment goals to help you move forward in your mental health journey.
To help you achieve your goals, I will utilize interventions from treatment modalities such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical-Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing.
As a therapist my biggest strength is my ability to provide empathy, support, and above all compassion. I am passionate about the benefits of therapy and feel confident that I can help my clients grow into the best versions of themselves.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Christie. From the very first session, she made me feel heard, understood, and supported. Her professionalism, empathy, and insight have been truly life changing. Christie creates a safe and welcoming environment where I feel comfortable sharing and exploring my thoughts. The tools and strategies she provides have helped me make meaningful progress in my personal growth and well-being. I highly recommend Christie!"

I've been seeing Christie for almost 2 years and I feel that she has been a tremendous help in my life. I'm going through a hard divorce and her guidance, support and empathy has been very helpful.
