Great to meet you!

Hi, I'm Cressie! I'm a licensed counselor with over 5 years of experience working with adolescents and adults in outpatient, acute inpatient, and residential settings. I specialize in supporting clients navigating post-traumatic stress, mood disorders, and complex family or relational dynamics.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is compassionate and collaborative. I use an evidence-based, trauma-informed lens to help clients explore the internal messages that contribute to emotional stuckness. Together, we'll work toward greater self-understanding, self-compassion, and meaningful change.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is a chance to explore your reasons for coming to therapy and to establish goals for our work together.
