Experience That Meets You Where You Are
With an NYU education and nearly 20 years in the field, Christie offers a rare blend of clinical depth and approachable warmth. She specializes in helping adults navigate the "big" chapters of life — from the complexities of adoption and generational trauma to the nuances of parenting and relationship dynamics. Christie understands that while life is serious, therapy doesn't always have to be; she incorporates humor into a collaborative process that honors your pace while gently challenging you to grow.
By integrating Somatic Experiencing with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Christie helps you address stress where it lives: in both the mind and the body. Whether you are processing grief, managing disordered eating, or seeking to break long-standing family patterns, Christie provides a seasoned perspective to help you find clarity and lasting change.
Clinical Focus:
Generational & Complex Trauma: Breaking old family cycles and healing deep-seated patterns.
Adoption & Family Constellations: Specialized support for all members of the adoption triad and those navigating unique family structures.
The Body-Mind Connection: Using elements of Somatic Experiencing and mindfulness to release stored tension and anxiety.
Life Transitions & Parenting: Expert guidance through "phase of life" challenges, communication breakdowns, and the pressures of modern parenting.
