About Christie

Schedule with Christie here.

Whether you got here via a blog post or by referral needing counseling, I am so glad you’re here. It is a privilege and honor that you are here in this space.

At the heart of my counseling approach is a deep desire to care for people, so that they might live from the Gospel and into the fullness and freedom of what Christ has for them. I consider it a great privilege to hold space and bear witness to the stories that counselees share, stories of suffering and celebration. As the Word of God has worked so powerfully in my own life, I desire to invite people into the same kind of freedom and transformation. As such, mine is a biblical perspective and I incorporate silence, Scripture, and prayer in counseling sessions. I help people to engage their history, places and times in life when they were wounded, when they began to believe distortions, and how they learned to cope with it all. I often invite people to practice biblical lament and incorporate journaling as a way to see how God might be at work in it all.

As I sit with people, I have learned that life is much more fragile, much more challenging, and much more complex than we often acknowledge. Gandalf the Grey once said, ”When I come across something that is alive and is capable of bearing beauty, then I want to nurture that, and that is my call…If anything survives that can flower and bear fruit in the days after, then my work will not have been in vain.”

Journeying with others as they make their way closer to the heart of Christ and witnessing the transformation that occurs in them is one of the most fulfilling parts of counseling. Like Gandalf, I am a steward. Stewarding souls toward beauty and glorying the Lord draws me closer to the Lord as I see him so intimately at work. I have the opportunity to see the Holy Spirit moving, helping, and encouraging people along the way. I consider it a deep privilege to hold space for others as they journey through life. I desire to be a safe place, to be a non-anxious presence of rest, peace, and healing. My approach is not rushed or corrective, but I seek to walk alongside saints, sinners, and sufferers as they courageously seek hope and healing. Not only is it a privilege but a joy to steward souls.

My training is clinically informed. God created our bodies with much complexity and we must be cared for in a manner that attends to both the body and the soul. I am certified through the Association of Biblical Counselors. I have training in Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI- an attachment-based, trauma-informed intervention that is designed to meet the complex needs of vulnerable children and those who’ve experienced relational harm.). I am also a Certified Christian Trauma Care Provider.

I have been married for 21 years and am a mother to three young adults. Marriage and raising kids have been the most delightful and sanctifying opportunities the Lord has given me.

I am accepting new clients on a case-by-case basis. To inquire about a session, please email me at the address below.
