Cristy comes to the Integrate Recovery team, inspired and energized by her talented and passionate teammates, whose lives have also been and continue to be enhanced by their personal recovery journeys. Having personal experience as a client in treatment who once labeled herself as a “chronic relapser,” is perhaps the underpinning of her deep seated appreciation for/and anchor to this work. Cristy is honored to join and work with individuals and families, as she gratefully connects a through line of her own experience, in which compassionate and hopeful providers held hope for her- even when she had none.
Cristy spends her free time engaging in her favorite hobbies- she is a self-taught woodworker and leatherworker, who must create something with her hands to feel fulfilled and recharged.
