Certified Relationship Psychotherapist

Christy works in an integrative way using many models of therapy including person-centered, strengths-based, and humanistic. She has a special interest in the use of somatic-based therapeutic interventions, such as Mindfulness and Gendlin’s Focusing, in facilitating and processing emotional content.

Christy aims to support individuals and couples in understanding and exploring their relationship to themselves and others on a deeper level. She works with clients who may experience any of the following issues: grief and loss, anxiety and depression, spiritual and existential issues, relationship and interpersonal issues, life transitions, low self-esteem and confidence issues, women’s health and menopause, chronic health concerns, stress management, attachment disturbances, as well as immigration and relocation stress.

Her intention as a therapist is to provide a safe and open environment where individuals are free to explore a deeper connection to themselves and navigate life’s challenges to promote an experience of personal agency, vitality, and self-trust.

Christy believes that one’s mental and physical health are intrinsically linked. She has a clear understanding of the integration of mind and body as a whole as informed by her experience with alternative healing modalities, yogic philosophy, mythology, philosophy, and embodied movement practices. Her heart-centered, trauma-informed approach to the therapeutic process provides a safe space where an individual feels supported in exploring their own empowerment and strengths. This approach allows one to come back into wholeness through an invitation to reflect on different aspects of self and inner experience to build a more cohesive understanding and awareness of oneself.
