Welcome

Hi, I'm Christy, licensed counselor & therapist in California. Whatever it is that brought you here—you're in the right place.

Therapy with me is a confidential space to unpack and examine parts of yourself that have been hidden or neglected. It's a place to rebuild trust with yourself and, if you're a couple, with your partner, too. You'll also learn new skills and gain practice with them, both in session and out.

You probably also want to know that you won't be judged or criticized—and believe me—you won't! I became a therapist to heal and grow, and I'm still healing and growing to this day.

I initially studied Expressive Arts Therapy for a reason—I'm not great at talking about myself! So, if you'd like to learn more about how I work and see if we might be a good fit, I invite you to give me a call, send me an email, or book a consult on my calendar.

A lifetime of caring & creating
