Why People Choose Christy Over Traditional Therapy
Christy’s clients often say her coaching feels like therapy with results. Her style is compassionate yet direct. She’s not afraid to tell the truth, challenge your patterns, and guide you toward the growth you’ve been craving—all in a safe, encouraging space. Rather than spending months or years analyzing the past, she helps clients:
✔ Break free from self-defeating patterns and people-pleasing
✔ Build emotional intelligence and grow healthy relationships
✔ Heal past wounds and strengthen inner self confidence
✔ Cultivate boundaries, balance, and authentic self-love

Mission & Philosophy
She believes that knowing yourself is power and doing the inner work is freedom. Through her coaching, books, and workshops, Christy equips people with the tools to create lasting emotional freedom and confidence.
