ABOUT CHRISTIN

My work as a clinician is rooted in a fascination with how trauma shapes the nervous system, our relationships, and the way we move through the world. Over the past 10 years, I've guided adults through addiction recovery, chronic stress, attachment wounds, and the lingering impact of difficult life experiences—including adults making sense of a late neurodivergence diagnosis and everything that comes into focus once they finally have language for it.

As someone who was diagnosed with ADHD later in life myself, I understand firsthand how disorienting—and clarifying—that kind of realization can be. It's part of why this work resonates with me so personally.

 

Education & Clinical Experience

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Arizona State University and my Master of Science in Professional Counseling from Grand Canyon University. My professional journey began at The Meadows, a world-renowned inpatient treatment center specializing in trauma and addiction recovery. There, I worked with adults facing a wide range of challenges, including addiction, combat-related trauma, and family-of-origin issues. I had the privilege of training under leading experts in the field, including Pia Mellody and Peter Levine. It was at The Meadows that I was first introduced to Somatic Experiencing®, a modality that now forms the foundation of my work.

Approach & Philosophy

My approach combines evidence-based and body-focused methods—including Somatic Experiencing, EMDR, and attachment-focused work—to support lasting change, not just insight. I provide trauma-informed care and strive to create a space where every adult feels seen, understood, and supported as they move out of survival mode and into a fuller, more connected life.​
