Hi, I’m Christie, a licensed mental health counselor with experience in community mental health clinics and in schools, supporting individuals from childhood through adulthood. My passion lies in working with young adults and women navigating the challenges of adulthood, identity, relationships, and life transitions. Many of my clients are high-achieving and introspective—motivated to change but feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected.
I take a person-centered approach to therapy because I believe that you are the expert on your own life. My role isn’t to give you all the answers but to walk alongside you as you explore what feels right for you. I also incorporate aspects of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), helping clients recognize how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected—and how small, intentional shifts can create meaningful change.
I believe in treating the whole person. Our challenges rarely stem from just one source—they are shaped by everything from our relationships and environment to our beliefs, habits, and past experiences. Sometimes, real change comes not just from shifting our mindset but from setting boundaries, changing our surroundings, or learning to accept what we can’t control. Therapy is about untangling these complexities, finding clarity, and creating a life that feels more aligned with who you are and what you need.
I know that life doesn’t come with a roadmap, and sometimes we just need space to gain perspective and reconnect with ourselves. If you’re looking for a collaborative, supportive space to explore what’s next, I’d love to help.
