Expertise in Chronic Pain & Invisible Illness
My name is Chrissy (she/her), and I specialize in supporting individuals navigating the intersection of physical health and mental well-being. My personal journey with an undiagnosed autoimmune disease has deeply informed my clinical work, giving me an expert understanding of the unique psychological toll of chronic and invisible illnesses. I move beyond basic support to offer deep validation and targeted strategies for those managing life-altering diagnoses, helping you reclaim a sense of agency and quality of life in the face of physical complexity.
Clinical Specialty: Spiritual Wellness & Holistic Healing
I provide a specialized space for clients seeking to integrate Spiritual Wellness into their healing journey. My expertise lies in exploring the “whole person”—mind, body, and spirit. With interests in astrology and herbalism, I am uniquely equipped to support clients who value holistic perspectives. Whether you are navigating spiritual identity shifts, existential questions, or end-of-life issues, I offer a non-judgmental environment where your beliefs are a vital resource for your growth.
Advanced Trauma-Informed Care
I am gifted at creating a safe, grounded sanctuary for processing Trauma and Complex Grief. I understand that trauma often lives in the body and manifests in our daily environments. My approach is dedicated to helping you navigate the “weight” of past experiences, reducing symptoms of PTSD and anxiety, and fostering the resilience needed to face life’s challenges with renewed confidence.
An Integrative, Person-Centered Approach
My therapeutic style is defined by calmness, empathy, and open-mindedness. I integrate evidence-based modalities to ensure our work is both reflective and practical:
Person-Centered Therapy: Ensuring you are the lead architect of your healing.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Providing tools to identify and challenge unhelpful patterns.
Mindfulness-Based Techniques: Cultivating present-moment awareness to manage chronic pain and regulate emotions.
Systems-Informed Work: Supporting individuals through the nuances of blended families, relationship issues, and major life transitions.
