About Christy
Christy works with adults across the lifespan, including older adults. She has experience with survivors of abuse and neglect and with people facing serious medical concerns such as cancer. Hospice and end-of-life counseling is a noted focus in her work.
Her style is straightforward and compassionate. Sessions focus on understanding what feels most difficult and building practical coping steps that fit daily life. She emphasizes strengths and small, manageable changes rather than overwhelming goals.
In the therapy room she offers a calm, nonjudgmental space to talk through painful moments. Together she and the person in therapy review coping options, practice new ways of handling stress, and plan next steps for recovery and resilience.
Christy tailors care to each person's situation. That means listening for what matters most and adjusting pace and focus as needs shift. She aims to help people regain a sense of control and to find clearer pathways through hard times.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
Christy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical work. One common approach helps people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and then try small behavioral steps to test new ways of coping. This kind of work is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress.Another approach emphasizes processing traumatic memories at a pace the person can manage. That method helps people reduce the hold of painful memories and improve day-to-day functioning after abuse, neglect, or other trauma. Both approaches center on skills you can use between sessions to handle difficult moments.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review current needs, goals, and preferences and adjust methods as progress is made. Christy will work together with each person to choose techniques that fit their situation and comfort level.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to continue care during medical treatment or other life transitions.
