About Christy

I’m a psychotherapist and licensed clinical social worker with eighteen years of experience helping adults find greater clarity and confidence as they navigate overwhelm, caregiving stress, and relationship challenges.

My Background

Before starting my private practice, I worked at Vanderbilt University Counseling Center and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, where I deepened my understanding of trauma, resilience, and the emotional weight people often carry beneath the surface.

Who I Work Best With

I work especially well with adults who are stretched thin and feeling stuck.

Many of my clients are navigating anxiety, chronic overwhelm, neurodivergence, caregiving stress, parenting children with high support needs, or relationship patterns that leave them feeling disconnected or depleted.

Some are neurodivergent themselves. Others love, parent, or partner with someone who is and want support in creating more understanding, trust, and connection.

My Approach

My style is collaborative, grounded, and relational, with space for both depth and lightness.

My work is informed by evidence-based approaches like CBT and DBT, while always tailored to your needs rather than a one-size-fits-all model. Together, we’ll work to understand the patterns affecting your life, develop practical coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change.

Affirming Care

I'm committed to creating a space where you feel respected, affirmed, and able to show up fully as yourself. I welcome clients of all identities, backgrounds, and neurotypes, and aim to offer care grounded in curiosity and understanding.

Telehealth Services

I provide therapy services exclusively via telehealth, offering flexibility and convenience for clients with busy lives or multi-state needs. Online therapy allows us to connect from the comfort of your home, office, or wherever you feel comfortable, while still providing the same quality of care. Learn more about telehealth HERE.
