Meet Christy

Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor

Christy is a compassionate and experienced counselor who specializes in helping adults heal from the lasting effects of childhood abuse—whether sexual, verbal, physical, emotional, spiritual, or neglect. She creates a safe, supportive space where clients can work through deep wounds, rediscover their strengths, and move toward emotional wholeness.

In addition to trauma recovery, Christy works with individuals facing challenges such as grief and loss, anxiety, depression, codependency, life transitions, divorce recovery, and women’s issues—including menopause, postpartum depression, and post-abortion healing. She also supports those navigating childhood emotional neglect (CEN), internal conflicts, and the unique needs of highly sensitive persons (HSPs).

Christy takes a psychodynamic eclectic approach, helping clients understand how their past experiences and relationships shape their present struggles. She thoughtfully integrates techniques from Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), attachment-based therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, and Gestalt Therapy—tailoring each session to the individual’s needs and goals.

Her counseling experience is enriched by her three years overseas, where she served in missions and had the privilege of supporting missionaries throughout Asia.

Christy earned her M.A. in Counseling from Reformed Theological Seminary, Florida (2001) and her B.S. in Psychology from Madonna University, Michigan (1999).

Outside of counseling, Christy enjoys expressing her creativity through drawing, painting, and pottery. She also loves baking sourdough bread, cooking out with friends, relaxing by the pool, or curling up with a good book by the lake.
