Christy loves DBT! Ever since meeting a trainer and first hearing about DBT in 2007, she’s been thirsty for more. Her trainer coached her, “Dance clumsily until everything falls into place”, and that’s exactly how she got started. She took what she learned and began applying it immediately, while actively pursuing more training as she went. Christy quickly found her patients’ rates of hospitalization declined, behaviors improved, and treatment became more effective. Christy sums up DBT with one word: “EFFECTIVE”! Christy meets you in a place where you want help, you’re at your wits’ end, and you’ve tried everything to change but little is working. She will take you through a directed, focused process where you learn to manage your day-to-day living, gain an effective skillset which works for your actual problems, and create a life you don’t have to escape from! As a human, Christy is genuine. She focuses on making treatment as comfortable as possible by connecting with you and tailoring treatment to your goals and needs. In her free time, she is a sports mom! It's her second full-time job, and she is creative with hours of availability to accommodate seasonal schedules.
