About Christie

I help individuals and couples who feel stuck in patterns of anxiety, overthinking, conflict, disconnection, or shut down. Together, we can slow things down, understand what’s underneath these patterns, and create more meaningful change. I also support psychedelic preparation and integration, including ketamine-assisted therapy. If this feels like the kind of support you’re looking for, I’d love to connect.

My approach

My approach is collaborative, relational, and attachment-focused, with an emphasis on the nervous system and the patterns we carry in our bodies. I draw from somatic, mindfulness-based, and other evidence-based approaches to help you understand yourself more deeply and create change that feels meaningful and lasting.

About me

I’m a licensed clinical social worker and have been working in the mental health field for more than 20 years. I’m especially drawn to the ways our relationships, attachment experiences, and nervous systems shape how we move through the world. I also have a special interest in psychedelic preparation and integration.
