I use EMDR, Brainspotting, and parts work/IFS.
I focus on supporting people in creating lasting change. My clients are high functioning successful individuals who also find themselves struggling to manage anxiety, trauma, OCD, or an addictive behavior that seems to take the drivers seat in their life more often than they would like. I also treat partners or family members trying to manage their own recovery from betrayal trauma in response to their loved one's behaviors. Often, these concerns have roots and stories that go further back, and we work simultaneously on past, present, and future to tackle getting the results you want to see. My style is warm yet direct and clear.

I use Somatic Experiencing, EMDR, and Brainspotting, Limbic Rewiring to work with your brain & nervous system directly.
Something happened to your body. Maybe it was mold. Maybe it was a slow accumulation of stress, illness, and being dismissed by people who were supposed to help. Maybe you don't even have a name for it yet — just the knowledge that you haven't felt like yourself in a long time, and that something is genuinely wrong. You're not imagining it. What I've learned after 22 years of sitting across from people in exactly this place: the body and brain keep a very accurate record. If you've read this far and something in you relaxed a little — that's worth paying attention to.

I'm a Certified Brainspotting Therapist & EMDR trained.
Life’s challenges and painful experiences can leave lasting impacts—sometimes showing up as anxiety, depression, grief, PTSD, or CPTSD that’s carried in the body. These experiences could be first-hand or secondary trauma (other's trauma observed by family, friends, healthcare providers, 911 Professionals, EMTs, therapists, educators, military support) which, over time, can result in vicarious trauma. Triggers may feel clear at times, or confusing and hard to trace. In therapy, we’ll gently explore how these struggles affect your body, mind, emotions, and relationships, while working together to find relief, healing, and growth.

As a licensed clinical social worker and a licensed chemical dependency counselor, I offer several counseling services including brainspotting, cognitive-behavioral therapy, solution focused therapy, and guided mindfulness meditation.
Many people struggle to navigate work, relationships, family, and general day to day life. There are genetic and environmental reasons that lead to feelings of sadness, anxiety, loneliness, substance use, and mental health issues. There may be a serious setback that occurred or many, seemingly, small things that build throughout life. Often, clients aren't sure what the cause of the hindrance may be, others have an idea but are unsure how to approach the healing process. Deciding on your goals for your present and future is the first step to attaining what you want in life.

You’ve learned some patterns that made sense at the time, got reinforced by your environment and now things have kind of gone sideways. Everything you’ve learned can be unlearned. I’m Christie, a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor with over 13 years of lived recovery experience. People come to me having tried other approaches and feeling like healing just doesn’t work for them. They leave with actual tools, a lot more self compassion, and sometimes even something they didn’t expect, they start to see the good in themselves.

I specialize in evidence-based methods like Brainspotting and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) to help you "unplug" the root causes of PTSD, anxiety, chronic, and emotional pain.
Instead of just learning to live with your symptoms, we work to process the emotional pain at its source. This approach helps recalibrate your nervous system so that old memories or physical discomfort no longer trigger a "mental alarm" in your daily life. My goal is to help you move from simply "coping" to true resolution.

Brainspotting Therapists
How does brainspotting work?
Brainspotting works by using eye positioning to identify and process traumatic memories so that a client is better able to move forward and live with less fear. The theory behind brainspotting is that by identifying where a person looks when thinking of traumatic memories, a therapist will be able to guide them to focus on that spot and work with the client to get them out of the “fight, flight, freeze” response associated with the traumatic memory.

Is brainspotting an evidence-based therapy?
Brainspotting is a theory-based alternative therapy. It is one of the newest forms of treatment, so very little research has been completed that examines the mechanism by which it works. The theory behind brainspotting is that eye position can be linked to areas of the brain that store and process memory.

How effective is brainspotting?
Because it is such a new treatment, the effectiveness of brainspotting cannot be quantified. Some people have found it to be effective on its own, or in conjunction with other types of therapy. It is considered an alternative therapy, and it is popular with people for whom more traditional therapies have proven ineffective.

How long does brainspotting take to work?
A typical brainspotting session will last between 60 to 90 minutes. There is no required number of sessions needed to complete brainspotting therapy, but in many cases it is delivered over the course of about six sessions. Clients are encouraged to rate their level of distress prior to a session and again following a session, and to track progress.
