Throughout my career I have experienced treating depression, anxiety, attachment trauma, dissociation, and more. I am trained in EMDR, Structural Dissociation, and other modalities, that have assisted in my success in helping to navigate and overcome past trauma. Through that process, clients learn to embrace adversity; resulting in increased resilience. I value our unique experiences and believe embracing our authentic self is a process, not a state of being; it is a direction, not a destination. Take a deep breath, and remember, you no longer have to live in a state of survival; be empowered and recognize the healing you deserve.
Christy is trained in Adaptive Information Processing, which uses EMDR; bilateral stimulation to help access unprocessed memories and reprocess those memories, allowing our brain to provide new adaptive information, to eliminate restricting and maladaptive beliefs. This approach supports clients’ goals resolving the emotional and physiological dysfunction.
Christy endorses a collaborative and holistic therapeutic style. She is passionate in serving individuals and is motivated by the success in her own healing journey, which she credits to the therapeutic process. She provides an empathetic, accepting, and safe environment where she encourages clients to find purpose and meaning to the challenges they face.
