Welcome
Shaped through love, art, and life.
Hi, I'm Christy—a licensed therapist, couples counselor, and mom of two. I believe that caring for your relationship is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourselves and the family you're building together.
If you're here, chances are your relationship has been stretched by one of life's biggest transitions. Whether you're considering parenthood, preparing for a baby, adjusting to life with young children, or simply trying to find your way back to each other beneath the demands of everyday life, you've come to the right place.
I've experienced firsthand how the transition to parenthood can place extraordinary strain on a relationship. That chapter of my life shaped not only who I am as a person, but also the therapist I've become. It gave me a deep respect for how hard this work can be—and how meaningful it is when couples have the right support.
My approach is warm, direct, and collaborative. Together, we'll identify the patterns keeping you stuck, practice new ways of relating, and build the kind of partnership you both want to live in. You can expect honesty without judgment, practical tools alongside meaningful reflection, and a space where both partners feel respected, challenged, and genuinely cared for.
I'd be honored to learn more about your story. If it feels like we might be a good fit, I invite you to schedule a complimentary consultation.
A lifetime of caring & creating
