  • The same patterns keep showing up in your relationships.

  • You are carrying grief, an old hurt, or a hard season you can’t put down.
  • Things look fine from the outside, and you still feel stuck.

You don’t have to sort it out before you call. That is what the first conversation is for.Request a free 15-minute consultation (opens in a new tab)

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.
