"Owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing that we will ever do."
-Brené Brown
Welcome
Finding the right therapist can be overwhelming. If you are looking for a warm and supportive space to feel comfortable sharing your story, I’d like to help. My goal is to provide you with greater self-confidence, a deeper understanding of yourself and others, and practical ways to manage life stressors.
With over 27 years of experience as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I have worked with adolescents, teens and adults dealing with issues including anxiety, depression, self-esteem, grief/loss, resilience and self-worth, postpartum mood\anxiety disorders and life transitions. I have experience in a variety of clinical settings including day treatment programs in schools, on-site clinical therapist at a boarding school, community mental health and private practice. Finally, I have advanced clinical training in perinatal mental health through the Postpartum Stress Center in Philadelphia.
I am grateful to be a part of your therapeutic journey. I look forward to learning more about you and your story.

“Christy is one of the most engaging individuals I have ever met, skilled at the art of getting others to talk, making them feel heard and understood. This skill is the most essential for a therapist in order to gain the trust of the patient and to help form a therapeutic bond. I refer multiple patients and couples to her. Uniformly, these patients have given her high marks for her clinical skills and even expressed their gratitude to me for making the referral.”
Miriam V. - past client
“Christy approaches every conversation with an open mind and fantastic listening skills. She expresses so much empathy and asks important questions to make sure she understands what you are telling her. She has valuable insight and offers ideas and tools to help you work through any problem. Anyone who has worked with Christy will tell you they feel like they are talking to a friend... a friend that is educated in and experienced in helping others with depression and anxiety. I leave every conversation with her feeling better and more hopeful.”
