Christie is a bilingual Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in the State of Illinois. She earned her B.A. in Psychology from Trinity International University and her M.A. in Mental Health Counseling from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School.

Therapeutic Approach
Christie is deeply passionate about connecting with others and brings a warm, accepting, and grace-filled presence to the counseling room. Drawing from her faith, she creates a safe and inviting environment where clients can explore their stories without judgment.
She views counseling as a collaborative process—one that allows clients to gain insight into their needs, strengths, and patterns, and to use those discoveries to grow in meaningful ways. Her desire is to empower individuals to pursue healing, holistic health (body, mind, and soul), and a life that reflects their values and God-given purpose.
Clinical Focus & Specialties
Christie supports clients navigating a range of concerns, including:
Depression and anxiety
Trauma and domestic violence

Outside the Counseling Room
During her free time, Christie enjoys cooking and baking, working on home projects, and spending quality time with her husband and their three children. These rhythms of creativity, connection, and rootedness enrich her therapeutic presence.
