“Christy is one of the most engaging individuals I have ever met, skilled at the art of getting others to talk, making them feel heard and understood. This skill is the most essential for a therapist in order to gain the trust of the patient and to help form a therapeutic bond. I refer multiple patients and couples to her. Uniformly, these patients have given her high marks for her clinical skills and even expressed their gratitude to me for making the referral.”

“Christy approaches every conversation with an open mind and fantastic listening skills. She expresses so much empathy and asks important questions to make sure she understands what you are telling her. She has valuable insight and offers ideas and tools to help you work through any problem. Anyone who has worked with Christy will tell you they feel like they are talking to a friend... a friend that is educated in and experienced in helping others with depression and anxiety. I leave every conversation with her feeling better and more hopeful.”
