Meet Christy
Christy works with adults experiencing trauma, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and challenges with communication, boundaries, and self-esteem. She also provides an affirming and supportive space for LGBTQ+ clients.
Life can be challenging, especially when past experiences affect how we feel about ourselves and connect with others. Christy offers a warm, compassionate, and non-judgmental environment where clients can explore their experiences, better understand their emotions, and work toward meaningful change.
Christy believes therapy should be collaborative and tailored to each person's needs. Using a trauma-informed, strengths-based approach, she helps clients develop healthier coping strategies, navigate relationship challenges, and build confidence in themselves.
Christy holds a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and a Master's degree in Counselling Psychology. She has completed EMDR training through the Niagara Stress and Trauma Clinic and has experience working with individuals affected by trauma and crisis, including through her work at the Niagara Distress Centre and the Attachment and Trauma Centre for Healing.
Her therapeutic approach draws from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Attachment Theory, Narrative Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based practices. She works alongside clients to help them recognize their strengths, process difficult experiences, and move toward greater emotional well-being.
