In addition to working with a diverse adult population, I have been trained in EMDR, life transitions, career development, spiritual growth, Jungian Dreamwork, Hypnosis, mens issues, step parenting and blended families.
Change in our lives is inevitable. The transition periods between times of stability in our lives are more common then we often care to admit. These transitions can trigger stress, anxiety, depression and other current and long standing psychological issues. I started my clinical practice in 1989 in Austin, Texas and specialize in helping adult individuals and couples who are experiencing transitions due to significant changes occurring in their lives.

You may be naturally reflective and articulate—and yet something feels distant, muted, or just out of reach. I work with thoughtful, introspective adults navigating dissociation, identity concerns and experiences that resist easy explanation: depersonalization/derealization (DP/DR), spiritual or near-death experiences, and other encounters that changed everything but left few roadmaps. My style is depth-oriented (yet practical & highly intentional), collaborative, and a bit unconventional—I bring in science, metaphor & the occasional film reference to make psychological experiences feel more real and less isolating.

You've always had enormous ability to live an exceptional life, but have simply lacked someone to show you the way.
I am a former Buddhist monk with 20+ years experience in counseling, a neurotherapist, author of The Two Truths About Love (2013) and The Art of Giving Permission (2026), and parent to 2 boys, 2 dogs, & 2 adorable tortoises. Most of all, I'm a philosopher—someone with a love (philo-) of wisdom (-sophia). It is this "love of wisdom" that has allowed me to unlock the mystery as to why humans struggle so much and so often, both individually and in their relationships. More importantly, I have learned how we can all break free and become empowered to create the changes we desire in our lives, to become who and how we have always wanted.

There are moments in life when you feel lost and unsure where you took a wrong turn.
Therapy can be hard. It can be scary. It can be work. It can also be a space of transformation; a commitment that can create an immense difference in both your life and the life of your loved ones. Using a warm but direct approach, I work to create a genuine relationship between us that allows for introspection, honest feedback, and a feeling of connection.

You do the best you can to cope, but sometimes life’s challenges feel like too much.
I can help you if you are struggling with anxiety, depression, grief and loss, parenting, work challenges, chronic pain and other health concerns, life transitions, or low self-esteem. I specialize in treating anxiety-related disorders. In addition to talk therapy, I utilize biofeedback as a tool for helping with a variety of emotional and physical issues.

Through somatic exercises, practical tools, and a relational, trauma-informed lens, I help clients build embodiment, emotional awareness, self-trust, and resilience, supporting them in navigating stress, life transitions, and relationship challenges.
You may be someone who shows up, gets things done, and holds a lot together — yet still feels overwhelmed, disconnected, or quietly worn down. Maybe you’ve learned to push through, stay productive, or take care of others, and you’re beginning to notice the cost of living this way. Many struggle with anxiety, emotional shutdown, or the lingering effects of past experiences, and are looking for more. I work with adults and teens who seem “fine” on the outside but feel overwhelmed, stuck, or burned out inside. Many manage anxiety, stress, or past experiences and are looking for therapy that feels supportive, holistic, and deeply human.

You'll gain practical tools and insights to create clarity, balance, and lasting change in your life.
As of 6/15/26, I am accepting new clients, in person (Austin) and online.
There is nothing wrong with you. You’ve learned some patterns that made sense at the time, got reinforced by your environment and now things have gone haywire. 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.

Life Coaching Therapists
What can I expect from life coaching?
Clients and coaches will typically start by identifying the problem area(s) that the client hopes to address—then, the coach will help the client brainstorm potential solutions and explore concrete techniques to help the client attain their goals. Coaching is typically short-term and focused on finding solutions in the here and now, rather than exploring a client’s past. In addition to strategies aimed at the client’s specific concerns, coaches may encourage general stress management techniques such as meditation.
Can a life coach help treat anxiety?
Because the majority of life coaches are not licensed clinicians, they are not qualified to diagnose or treat anxiety. Anyone struggling with anxiety or another mental health condition should seek help from a licensed mental health practitioner. However, some coaching clients who struggle with subclinical anxiety report that working with their coach on other problems—such as career dissatisfaction or unhealthy habits—has a positive effect on their anxiety.
Can life coaching be done online?
Yes. While life coaching often happens in person, many coaches conduct sessions over the phone or via online platforms such as Zoom or Skype. Because life coaches are not subject to local licensing regulations in the same way that therapists are, they are able to see clients who live in other locations.
How long does life coaching last?
Life coaching tends to be a shorter-term process than therapy, though it does not always unfold over a specific period of time and is instead based on the coach’s or the client’s preferences. Coaching often takes place over three to 12 months but may be shorter or longer if necessary.
