Marriage & Family Therapist - M.A., LMFT, ACC - Self-Care Coach for Burnt Out Professionals
As a Certified Coach, I provide Self-Care Coaching for Burnt Out Professionals to help you manage your stress, prevent burnout, and to explore the “How” of making changes. While I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I am not providing therapy services at this time. I am only providing coaching services.
About Me:
As an ICF Associate Certified Coach and LMFT with 14 years of mental health experience, I’m passionate about sharing tools that help you gain clarity, manage stress and burnout, and create a work-life integration where you feel in control of your time and energy. After experiencing burnout during my career as a therapist, I dove into training myself and my colleagues in self-care and stress management techniques. I have a deep passion for helping others and supporting professionals in ways to take care of themselves so they can thrive.
My coaching approach is informed by my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology, my Master’s Degree in Counseling, years as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and training employees on efficiency and self-care to help professionals increase their sustainability and enjoyment of their lives and careers. When I’m not coaching, I love to dance, watch science fiction movies, and cook pasta sauce from scratch.
About Coaching:
I‘m here to help you optimize your energy to get better results, create goals you feel good about, and learn to put yourself first so you feel more passionate and aligned in both your life and career. You know yourself best; my job is to be a collaborative thought-partner in your discovery process. My breadth of experience, including mindfulness training, helps you focus on what is within your control and what you can do about it, to create an empowering growth experience.
Leveraging my extensive clinical training and a strengths-based approach, we will highlight your skills and use them to create concrete steps to achieve your goals. You will set the pace and I will warmly support you to discover solutions and a clarity that brings you to a new level of well-being. I use a down-to-earth, conversational, and non-judgmental approach sprinkled with humor to encourage you, offer new perspectives and tools, and help you have some joy and fun on your way to your goals.
What Coaching Clients are Saying:
“Working with Christie I’m seeing my ability to handle stress improve dramatically. I’m much more able to identify problems and then address them in real-time where I couldn’t before, which has done wonders for my mental health. My days are much better organized so I can actually take time off and not feel guilty or forget to take time off like I used to. Christie has helped guide me through these areas. I’ve improved my self-confidence and especially my self-awareness to new levels. Christie creates a safe space to work within and if I hit a trouble spot I now see that as a challenge to work through rather than something to avoid, which speaks to her and her positive style that makes working with her super enjoyable!”
-Terrance R. (Manager at a Top Data Center Company)
“Working with Christie was immensely helpful for my professional growth as an early career private practice therapist. She helped me identify boundaries I could set that made my work load more sustainable, and helped me structure my weekly schedule such that I didn’t feel like I was always behind and in a rush. Working with Christie helped me shift from a fear-based to an abundance-based mindset, and make decisions for my practice based on my goals and values rather than my fears. My burnout has decreased and my work-life balance is much better. I highly recommend Christie’s coaching services!” -Cassidy B. (Therapist in Private Practice)
“Christie is empathic, a great listener, and full of knowledge and resources when it comes to setting you on a successful path. She walked me through my woes, and inspired in me more confidence, self-kindness, and optimism. Give her a shout!”
-Joshua M. (Engineer at a Health Care Company)
”Christie was a very helpful coach. She has great skill in holding space to help the client find their own answers. There were several times in our work that I felt like I wanted Christie to just “give me an answer” – and to her credit: she didn’t! Instead, she held compassionate space and gently helped me look within and come to my own conclusions. That is a mark of a seasoned professional. Thanks for all your help Christie!”
-Jason M., Therapist in Private Practice
“From our first coaching session, I knew I was in good hands. Christie is caring, intuitive, and responsive. Her insights helped me clarify my ideas and plan of action. Christie also assisted me by breaking down my goals into bite-sized actions. I am so appreciative of her words of wisdom. “
-Rose J. (Clinical Social Worker at Health Care Center)
