Christy is THE BEST therapist I have ever had. I have been in therapy for 20 years due to me being Diagnosed with PTSD. Christy gets me like no other Clinician. She truly understands and validates who I am. My spirituality is the core of my happiness and joy. Since I was little I connected with Mother Nature an her Magick. Christy has been able to honor my truth and lifts me up from all my strengths. I will always be grateful for her and wish I can continue to work with her for man years to come. She makes my spirit feel safe and my heart smile. Christy is a healer and she is doing exactly what he needs to be doing to make this world a better place. Besides her having excellent clinical skills, she is gifted - I feel she was born with so much light and a huge compassionate and loving heart.
