About Christie
Change happens in relationship.
Everyone faces seasons that feel overwhelming. I believe the way forward is found in a safe, steady relationship where you can explore the emotions and patterns that keep you stuck.
I work from an attachment and emotion-focused, psychodynamic approach. Together we look at how your past shapes the way you relate to yourself and others today.

What other clinicians say.
I have known Dr. Lindsey for a decade as grad school colleagues, and personally know of her deep care and compassion. I trust Dr. Lindsey’s expertise and focus on helping her clients feel a sense of warmth and safety while also treating the whole person.
Christie not only has a compassionate and humble heart, but a knowledgeable and discerning mind. I trust her personally and would trust her with anyone I love as I am confident she would handle them with great care and guide them in the right direction.
