You feel so overwhelmed that it feels paralyzing sometimes. You feel so much stress and anxiety from day to day, how do you figure out what is going to help you find some relief? You’ve been living like this for so long that it’s hard to imagine anything different. It feels like it’s all up to you to make sure things happen, and even though you put others before yourself, and give and give and give, it never seems to be enough. You’re tired of doing this alone, and although you’re not sure if there’s a chance that things can change, you’re at the point where you’re willing to give therapy a try…

Your Trauma, Anxiety and Relationship Therapist

Hi, I’m Christy. I’m an Individual, Couples, and Family Therapist. I’m a Trauma, Anxiety and Relationship Specialist, and an EMDR Therapist, but you could call me your compassionate mentor in healing and empowerment, your therapist, or simply a counselor.

Anxiety and Fear

I help people who long to feel understood and valued for who they truly are—weaknesses and all—but feel alone and fear they are crazy or not good enough, or that they will be rejected or abandoned.

Effective and Healing

The ways I approach therapy are different than most therapists.

I use 80 minute sessions—which are called double sessions—with all of my clients because these longer sessions are considered best practice, and one 80 minute session is so much more effective than 2 typical-length, shorter therapy sessions. These double sessions really allow us to identify and explore what’s going on beneath the surface, so we can address those underlying causes which can lead to genuine healing and lasting, long-term change within you, your life and your relationships. The progress, change and momentum we are able to create with the work we do in our double sessions is incredible and life-changing. 

Relationship Oriented, Solution Focused & Treating Causes

I have a unique approach: 

  • being a relationship-oriented therapist to create a safe and trusting relationship with you to work through what you’re experiencing and struggling with

  • being a solution-focused therapist and Polyvagal theory oriented therapist to provide you some initial relief from anxiety and stress

  • treating causes not just symptoms so that we really heal what’s creating your struggles rather than just putting a band-aid on the symptoms or a “quick fix” that doesn’t last 

Experience

I am also a very experienced therapist and social worker---practicing as a therapist since 2003 and as a social worker since 1997, so I know what I’m doing, can create a plan with you that is uniquely individualized to you, and have helped thousands of people to change their lives for the better before you.

Empowerment

I support people in working through things that are holding them back, healing and empowering them, so that they can feel:

  • confident

  • calm

  • clear

  • joyful

  • courageous

  • excited

  • fulfilled

  • content

  • connected to themselves and others.

Hope

I know from my experiences of working with thousands of people over the past 25+ years that there is hope, and it is absolutely possible to work through this pain and struggle, and for you to emerge triumphant on the other side.

Support and Connection

I believe that the biggest thing standing in your way is that you haven’t had an experienced, compassionate therapist to work through these struggles with you.

I want you to feel truly seen, heard, understood, valued, supported and empowered.

Therapy

I would love the opportunity to provide a safe, healing, nonjudgmental relationship and process for you to do this life-changing work.

That’s why I hope you will contact me through the contact form on this page to schedule your 45 minute phone consultation today.
