Christi has been such a great person to work with! I met her right before going through multiple big life changes and she has helped me think through my situations and come up with actionable solutions to my problems. She is a great listener and knows how to kindly point out the things I am trying to work on when I don't recognize them myself.

I've only had one session so far

Christi is straight to the point. If that’s your cup of tea, great. If you’re looking for empathy, look elsewhere. After a brief discussion of my issues, she asks something along the lines of “so what do you want from therapy?” In my opinion, the therapist should be the one helping someone figure out why they are there. That was a frustrating question for me to hear. Her advice was blunt and not helpful. I’d recommend her to someone with shallow issues, not to someone who has years of trauma. In my experience with her (which I will admit was not long), she was quick to assume details of my life and did not make much of an effort to learn the whole story. I did not think I would have to call a family member to vent about how frustrating a therapist was.

Christi has been so supportive in helping me talk through a really tough breakup. I feel like I have someone in my corner in a situation where I felt very alone. :)

I’m only two sessions in, but I feel like this is a fit. She balances listening with offering advice and strategies. I feel like I can present a problem/issue trusting that she will know how to help. And I like her demeanor. She’s very chill in a positive way.

Christi is great! She is helping me get through one of the hardest times and supporting/ encouraging me with mental and emotional growth. Super happy to have been connected with her. She is a great listener but also provides real, honest feedback which is important for me in therapy. I've had therapy before where they only listened and didn't respond much, I really appreciate Christi's guidance and knowledge. Highly recommend her.

I meant to strongly agree with all. She’s actually really helpful and insightful. So far better than most therapists I’ve ever seen.
