Now accepting telehealth clients with daytime availability. Christy works with adults who feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure how to fully be themselves. You may be navigating anxiety, trauma, addiction, or challenges related to identity or coming out. Many of her clients feel like they have to hide parts of who they are or struggle to find spaces where they feel truly accepted. If you’re tired of carrying things on your own and want a place where you can be open, understood, and supported, this is a space to start.
Christy is an LGBTQ+ affirming therapist with experience in addiction, trauma, and identity work. She provides a nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their experiences, build coping skills, and begin to feel more grounded and confident in who they are.
Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, especially if you’ve struggled to feel understood in the past. Christy offers a supportive, down-to-earth space where you can talk openly and move at your own pace. You don’t have to go through this alone.

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in practice combined with an integrative approach. We'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. We'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better. It is possible to change patterns.
