Hi, I'm Christy! l am a self-care/self-love advocate working towards eliminating the stigma surrounding mental health and therapy.

I support people who strive to be emotionally safe and secure, but are buried under mental obstacles and societal pressure. In our therapeutic work, I will support your commitment to your journey of self-love, so you can build the best version of yourself, whatever that may look like for you.

I know firsthand, and from supporting people in therapy, that investing in mental health and wellness is worth it. You deserve to feel safe, happy, and healthy.

Being there to guide others in finding their way through life is my passion and as a therapist, I have the honor of doing just that. As everyone can benefit from support, I welcome all people regardless of background. My niche is working with people living with depression, anxiety, and life transitions via individual therapy and supportive counseling.

In this world, I have found that humor goes a long way and can be either a maladaptive or adaptive coping skill, depending on context, when times are tough. My approach in therapy is to guide you in processing what you want to in sessions while also ensuring that therapy can be a light, fun, and uplifting experience tailored to your journey. My goal is to hold space for you during your hardships and life struggles while also celebrating your achievements and growth.

The first therapy session is not only meant for me to get to know you as a client, but for you to also get to know me. I believe it is important for prospective clients to "interview" their therapists to see if they would be a good fit.

My approach during first sessions is to build rapport and provide a safe space for you and learn about your likes, dislikes, strengths, weaknesses, and most importantly, the reason you are seeking therapy. I try my best to maintain a safe and welcoming environment while also holding clients accountable to their treatment goals.
