Hi! I’m Christie (she/her). Grounded in ongoing learning & relationship building, I support self-healing that co-creates the conditions for more clarity, choice, and connection, inside & out.
My integrative & invitational approach to psychotherapy draws from trauma-focused mind-body-relationship modalities, solidarity shaped by mutual aid with survivor-led communities, and over a decade of teaching therapeutic yoga full time in NYC.
Learn more about my offerings.
I stay inspired with my daily personal practice & collaborations based in vast & interconnected healing traditions.
And I love to cook, knit, read poetry, and be in nature.
I hope we get to work together!

I orient my psychotherapy practice within a growing movement for diverse, collective, life-affirming approaches to mental health and wellbeing that promote autonomy, self-determination, and systemic transformation.
My treatment style draws from psychodynamic and relational clinical frameworks, yet is person-centered, non-invasive, and non-pathologizing. I am licensed (NY) in order to make quality care more accessible, and promote open discussion and informed decision-making around diagnosis when using out-of-network benefits, along with other potential concerns regarding confidentiality and system contact.

I came to somatic psychotherapy with knowledge, skills, and tools from lifelong immersion in yoga and earth-based healing arts, or collective open systems based in experiential wisdom, multi-cultural spiritual sciences, and decolonization.
I share an inquiry-based and intentional approach to body-mind balance, healing, and integration that allows you to meet yourself where you are, follow your experience, and develop your own process in harmony with your self-understanding as it evolves.

I support survivors of controlling, abusive, and oppressive relationships, groups, and systems, past and present. That includes the mental health industrial complex and carceral models of “care.”
However trauma shows up for you, I accompany you through treatment planning in promotion of agency, discernment, and resonance. I also honor resistance as essential to resilience against the ongoing trauma that bolsters supremacy in the state, the street, and the home.
I strive to provide care that takes part in building a better world by advancing community supports, popular education, anti-racism, queer & women-of-color feminism, disability justice, abolition (including borders!), and land back.
I welcome discussion about politics, and am always happy to share resources.
