Individual Counsellor & Group Facilitator
Registered Clinical Counsellor (#29865)
With over two decades of professional experience in social services, Christie (she/her) is committed to creating a therapeutic space where people feel understood, supported, and empowered. Her work is shaped by extensive training in counselling, education, and mental wellness, and by a belief in each person’s capacity for growth and self‑understanding.
Christie supports adults, youth, and families from diverse backgrounds, with a particular focus on neurodivergent clients and those navigating emotional regulation, overwhelm, and family‑system stress. Her approach is person‑centred, strengths‑based, and neurodiversity‑affirming. She draws from CBT, somatic practices, and mindfulness within a trauma‑informed framework, helping clients work with their nervous system in ways that feel safe and sustainable.
In working together, you can expect a calm, steady presence and a collaborative pace that honours your autonomy. Clients share that they appreciate feeling met with compassion for both their strengths and their struggles. Whether you’re moving through a major transition, seeking clarity in relationships, or working to understand your emotional patterns, we’ll explore your experiences with curiosity and care.
