Christi considers it an honor to help clients navigate their journey toward healing and emotional health. The foundation of her work is trauma-informed and rooted in attachment science, but she utilizes a variety of approaches to adapt to the unique needs of her clients. Her goal is to provide a safe place for clients to explore their stories, while also helping clients find practical strategies for living in a more present and healthy way. 

Christi received her Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy from Asbury Theological Seminary in Orlando, Florida. As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, she works with individuals, couples, and families in the areas of attachment, adoption, trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, grief, and phase of life transitions. She also enjoys working with clients that are in “helping professions” such as other counselors, those in full-time ministry, and working for non-profit organizations. As a certified Prepare/Enrich facilitator Christi works with engaged couples to prepare for a thriving marriage. In addition to her professional training, she has embarked on her own healing journey and utilizes her experience as a fellow human, wife, and mom. 

Christi currently lives with her husband and two sons in Branson, Missouri and she offers Telehealth services through a HIPAA-compliant virtual platform. Christi has extensive experience in providing virtual sessions and has found it to be a convenient and effective way to help clients engage in counseling so they can grow through their current challenges. You can contact Christi to set up a free fifteen-minute consultation to discuss if telehealth is the best next step for you.
