About Christie
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a Master’s Degree in Transpersonal Counseling Psychology from Naropa University. Since 2007, I’ve been working in mental health and related fields including work as a therapist, counselor, coach, and caregiver. My training and experience spans mindfulness education, Hakomi therapy, CBT, grief counseling, professional coaching, and more. As your coach, I will guide and support you with courage, compassion, and commitment as you move further on this journey of becoming all of who you truly are.
I am an innately contemplative person, and for as long as I can remember, I have been drawn inward to find ways to connect to my highest and purest sense of Self. To listen deeply and connect to what my mind, heart, body, and intuition is saying. Then over time, learning to trust what I’m hearing and feeling and intentionally using that information to guide my actions, decisions, and overall direction in life. This is where my passion lies in coaching others. Knowing the experience of joy, aliveness, abundance, fulfillment, empowerment, and fluidity that can arise when we start aligning our goals, and ultimately our lives, with this sacred place of knowing.
My journey into wholeness and authenticity eventually evolved into connecting to the Divine energy or spirit within. Some might call this experience Oneness, God, the Universe, Source, or our Highest Self. Whatever labels you connect with, for me, it’s about recognizing that divine energy both within and around me. It’s in seeing and believing that it is inherent all around us in our natural world while also reflecting back to us that same divinity we all have inside.
Like all of ours, my own journey has led me through many thresholds over time. It’s included learning to accept and befriend my deepest grief and heartache, unraveling negative core beliefs that held me back from living my biggest and truest life, and the ongoing practice of radical self-love and care in a culture that often doesn’t support that. Today, I have tremendous gratitude for the joy, fulfillment, and empowerment I feel in my life, and my sincere desire is to help you find the same.
