Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here!

A Caring Chula Vista Therapist

Hi, I’m Christy

I help people heal from childhood wounds and painful past memories so you can find peace in the present and move forward with your life.

I offer therapy in person at my office in Eastlake in addition to online counseling in California. I’m trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing) and other trauma-focused specialties.

How I Provide Compassionate Therapeutic Care

I offer a holistic approach that involves the mind, body, and soul. Together, we'll work on developing the skills you need so you can heal and move forward in life, helping you to reclaim your peace and joy. I offer more than just a listening ear in our sessions. Throughout our work together, you'll gain valuable tools to transform your life and improve your well-being.

As a trauma-informed therapist, I focus on what happened to you rather than what’s wrong with you. Additionally, as a Christian therapist, I am able to incorporate a faith-based perspective for those who request it. However, please know that if our faith-backgrounds are different from each other, I want you to know that I respect you, and your values and beliefs and will not impose my views or personal opinions on you or bring them into our therapeutic work together. Or if you’ve experienced church hurt or are questioning your faith, I will meet you where you’re at rather than thumping the Bible over your head!

During your therapy, we will identify and address the root of your issues, look for harmful patterns that are no longer serving you and look for practical solutions so that you can leave your therapy feeling transformed, healed and restored. People describe me as warm, kind, genuine, and a good listener.

Need more details about my background and training?

I have experience working with people of all ages in various clinical settings such as community mental health outpatient clinics, private group practices, and residential treatment centers such as group homes with at-risk foster youth and adult, female-identifying survivors of human sex trafficking. My experiences have deepened my interest in and understanding of trauma and it’s lasting effect on our lives which has increased my passion to help people heal.
