Clients often tell me they feel both deeply understood and gently challenged in our work. You won’t be met with quick fixes or surface-level advice. Instead, I offer a grounded, relational space where we can slow down, get curious, and make sense of the patterns—emotional, relational, historical—that are shaping your current struggles. I’m especially attuned to the inner lives of high-achieving adults: those who appear competent on the outside but feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or unseen underneath.

I’m trained in psychodynamic therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and EMDR, and I approach each client with a blend of clinical precision and emotional presence. You can expect warmth, honesty, and an active collaboration toward lasting emotional change.

As a psychotherapist for the last 15 years, I work with a general adult population primarily with mood disorders, adjustment related concerns, grief and loss and relational concerns.

Working in the field for 24 years has opened my eyes and ears to many experiences. While your life experience is unique, we will work together to find ways to get you to your best life. I have worked in a hospital setting, inpatient mental health, outpatient mental health, PHP, IOP, Dual Diagnosis, rehab, residential treatment and community settings to a variety of clients in various backgrounds.

As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with more than 23 years of experience in the mental health field, I have dedicated my career to supporting individuals across a variety of settings. I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Clemson University, a Master of Arts in Clinical Counseling and a Master of Arts in Forensic Psychology from Marymount University. My professional experience includes work in educational settings, vocational rehabilitation, corrections, services for homeless military veterans, and adolescent-focused programs. These diverse experiences allow me to meet clients where they are and tailor treatment to their unique needs and goals.

My Journey

I struggled with anxiety and depression for years before I discovered therapy. What changed everything wasn't symptom management—it was depth. Learning to actually understand myself, to sit with discomfort instead of optimize it away, to accept myself differently. That depth-oriented work didn't just ease my symptoms. It helped me become someone I'm proud of.

That experience fundamentally shapes how I work with clients.

Building my own practice has been about creating a space where every client feels genuinely welcomed. With clinical experience across settings that have served people from all walks of life, I bring real warmth and dedication to each session. I see myself as a partner in your care, not just a provider. My goal is a practice where diverse clients feel seen and supported, where your autonomy matters as much to me as it does to you.

Hi, I’m Chrissy, and I’m a licensed professional counselor. If you’re struggling with OCD or anxiety, you may have spent a lot of time stuck in the “why,” wondering why these thoughts happen or why you feel this way. In our work together, we’ll shift the focus from the why to the how: how you can respond differently, break the cycle, and move forward.
