Everyone has times in their lives when they feel confused, conflicted, overwhelmed, or just plain stuck. Finding the right person to help you sort through it can feel overwhelming too—which is thankfully where I come in.

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 10 years of experience working with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, pre- and postpartum challenges, relationship issues, self-esteem, and major life transitions. Over the years, my practice has evolved to focus primarily on adults who want to better understand what is getting in the way of their happiness, relationships, success, or overall well-being.

I’m warm, open-minded, down-to-earth, and believe humor absolutely has a place in therapy. I’m also serious about boundaries and helping people find their voice. You don’t have to become a different person to feel better. Often, our work is about understanding yourself more clearly, recognizing what is no longer working for you, and becoming more comfortable making choices based on what you actually need—not just what keeps everyone else happy.

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.

Prior to becoming a psychotherapist I was exactly where you are now reaching out for support. You don't have to go through this alone. I have a Master's Degree in Holistic Counseling and I am also a licensed Mental Health Counselor with 20 years experience working with anxiety, depression, loss and trauma. Therapy helped me to understand myself and cope with my situation. It also led me to my education which, taught me that seeing yourself as a whole gives you more options to choose from when things go wrong. By combining the two I can better support what you most need so you can move forward with purpose and see that there is life beyond coping.
