Areas of Focus

Christy works with children and adolescents, with a focus on boys up to age 10 and girls through young adulthood. She helps clients navigate anxiety, depression, grief and loss, life transitions, adoption and attachment challenges, emotional and behavioral concerns, and struggles with confidence and identity. She especially enjoys working with teen girls as they navigate the unique pressures of adolescence, relationships, school, family dynamics, changing expectations, and the process of developing a healthy sense of self.

Christy also loves partnering with parents as they navigate the joys and challenges of raising brave, resilient, and hope filled kids. She believes that caring for a child often means caring for the whole family, and she values supporting parents as they work toward greater connection, understanding, and navigating sibling dynamics. Parenting can be difficult and Christy strives to provide parents with encouragement, practical tools, and a safe place to process the challenges that come with caring for their children.

Hope, Help and Healing

Christy creates a safe, warm, and engaging environment where children and teenagers can feel understood, express themselves honestly, and develop practical skills for navigating life in a healthy way. She has training in and uses principles from Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI), Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP), Theraplay, Play Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Sand Tray Therapy, and EMDR. Her approach is trauma-informed, attachment-focused, and developmentally appropriate, adapting therapy to meet each client where they are.
