With 16 years of experience, I specialize in working with trauma, anxiety, and ADHD, helping clients break free from overwhelming patterns and step into a more fulfilling life. I am EMDR-trained, a certified ADHD Specialist, and use EMDR, Solution-Focused Therapy, and CBT as my primary approaches to therapy. Making changes can be tough and often a little scary. Sometimes finding the right path is difficult - so many choices and so many obstacles. I will work with your strengths and your thought life, right where you are, to help you move past fears and other obstacles to create the lasting change you desire.
Your first session with me is a time to settle in, share your story, and begin building a foundation for our work together. I will gather the important information needed to officially get started, but more importantly, I will take the time to listen—really listen—to what has brought you to this point and what you hope to gain from counseling. This session is also an opportunity for us to find a comfortable rhythm for meeting, ensuring that the process feels supportive and manageable for you. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, valued, and understood as we begin building a relationship rooted in teamwork. Together, we will walk toward growth, healing, and meaningful change at a pace that feels right for you.
I believe in tailoring therapy to fit your needs—whether that means processing past trauma, managing anxiety, or finding strategies that work for your ADHD brain. My approach is warm, collaborative, and action-oriented, creating a space where you feel comfortable while making meaningful progress. Together, we’ll identify your strengths and develop a plan that meets you where you are, guiding you toward real and lasting change.
My ideal clients are children (11+), adolescents, and adults across the lifespan who are ready to better understand themselves and create meaningful change. I work especially well with individuals navigating ADHD, anxiety, and trauma-related challenges, including those who may feel overwhelmed, emotionally dysregulated, stuck in unhealthy patterns, or unsure of how to move forward. Many of my clients come to counseling feeling exhausted by racing thoughts, difficulty focusing, unresolved past experiences, relationship stress, or the pressure of trying to “hold it all together.” They may be high-achieving but internally struggling, parents trying to support their children, teens learning how to manage emotions, or adults processing trauma that continues to impact their daily lives. My ideal client values a collaborative counseling relationship and is open to learning practical tools while also exploring deeper emotional experiences. I enjoy helping clients build emotional regulation skills, improve self-awareness, strengthen coping strategies, and process traumatic experiences in a safe and supportive environment. I strive to create a space where clients feel understood, empowered, and challenged toward growth. Whether someone is seeking support for ADHD symptoms, anxiety, trauma recovery, or life transitions, I am passionate about helping them move toward healing, resilience, and a more fulfilling life.

I love to utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and understand their thought patterns, particularly those that may be distorted or unhelpful. Together, we explore how thoughts influence emotions and behaviors, working to challenge and reframe any patterns that may be creating barriers to growth, change, or healing. CBT is a structured, evidence-based approach that empowers individuals to develop healthier ways of thinking, improve emotional regulation, and build effective coping strategies. Through collaboration, I support clients in learning practical skills to manage stress, reduce anxiety or depression, and navigate life’s challenges with greater confidence. My goal is to create a supportive space where clients feel heard, validated, and equipped to make meaningful progress toward their goals.
I leverage Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) to help clients identify their strengths, set clear goals, and create practical steps toward positive change. SFBT is a short-term, goal-oriented approach that focuses on solutions rather than problems. It is based on the belief that clients already have the skills and resources needed to improve their lives, and my role is to help bring those strengths to the surface. Together, we will build practical and timely action plans that align with your unique goals. We will focus on what is working, explore past successes, and develop strategies to create meaningful progress. My approach is supportive and collaborative, helping you gain confidence in your ability to make lasting changes.
I use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) in my practice because it is a highly effective, evidence-based therapy for processing trauma, reducing anxiety, and addressing a variety of emotional concerns. EMDR is a structured approach that helps individuals reprocess distressing memories in a way that allows them to feel less overwhelming and more manageable. By using bilateral stimulation, such as guided eye movements, EMDR helps the brain integrate and heal from past experiences that may be contributing to current distress. Research has shown that EMDR is especially effective for treating trauma, including PTSD, as well as anxiety, phobias, and other emotional difficulties. It works by allowing the brain to process and store painful memories in a healthier way, reducing their emotional charge and the negative beliefs associated with them. I integrate EMDR into therapy to help clients move forward with greater emotional freedom, resilience, and a renewed sense of control over their lives.

Christi is an excellent therapist who gets to the bottom of the issues. I made more progress with her in one session than I have 7 sessions with other therapists. She is definitely one of a kind and I am lucky to have found her!

Luck brought me to Christi! I am blessed to have her in my corner. I never feel along. We share our thoughts ... operative word Is share. It makes our sessions more meaningful. She validates what I am saying to her with no judgement. I could write a book about how important she is to me!

Christi is an excellent therapist. She is thoughtful, insightful, and truly listens. She reflects on what I'm saying, helps me recognize patterns, and offers practical strategies for making meaningful changes. I was initially concerned that meeting over video might feel impersonal, but Christi is warm, down-to-earth, and easy to connect with. After a couple months of working with her, I feel more aware of my patterns and more confident that change is actually possible.
