You don't need more information. You need skills, a roadmap and a guide. I won't waste your time or your money.
You might recognize yourself here
You keep going. But it keeps showing up.
You overthink. You push through. You tell yourself it isn't that bad. You take care of everyone else. You promise you'll deal with it later.
- From the outside, your life looks fine. Inside, you know something isn't.
- No matter how much you accomplish, you never quite feel good enough.
- Your inner critic has a lot to say and rarely takes a day off.
- You keep repeating relationship patterns even though you know better.
- You people-please, overgive or have trouble saying what you need.
- Something from your past keeps finding its way into your present.
If you recognize yourself in even one of these, you're in the right place.
It's not your fault
No one taught us how to do this.
Our society doesn't teach us the two things I've watched people struggle with most, in 26 years and more than 25,000 sessions:
01
Managing our emotions
Knowing what you feel, why it's there and how to respond to it.
02
Valuing ourselves
Knowing your worth without needing to earn it or prove it.
The good news? These are skills. And skills can be learned.
The heart of this work
The most important relationship you will ever have is the one you have with yourself.
Let's make it extraordinary.
That relationship goes everywhere you go. It shapes how you talk to yourself when you make a mistake, whether you trust what you feel, what you tolerate, whether you can say no, who you choose and how you love.
Knowing yourself is power. Doing the inner work is freedom.
Insight isn't enough
Awareness isn't the same as change.
You may know why you do what you do. You may have read about it, journaled about it, even gone to therapy for it. And then life happens, and there you are doing it again.
Understanding a pattern doesn't change how you respond when you're triggered, afraid or overwhelmed. At some point, insight has to become something you can actually use.
That's where our work together begins.
My approach
Get to the root. Then change it, faster.
Most people already know what's wrong. What they need is a way to get underneath it and actually change it. My work brings together two things:
THE FRAMEWORK
The Maxx Method™
A six-step framework that gets to the roots of every issue: what's happening inside you, what you're feeling, what you're telling yourself, where it comes from, what you actually want and what you're going to do about it.
THE FASTER WAY TO CHANGE
Resolve & Rewire™
A way to process and resolve what's still unresolved from the past, and rewire the limiting beliefs attached to it, so change happens much quicker than talking about it ever could.
The insight of therapy. The momentum of coaching.
The Maxx Method™
Six questions. One word: METHOD.
After 26 years of working with people, these are the six areas that show up whenever real change happens.
M
MINDFULNESS
What's happening inside me?
E
EMOTIONS
What am I feeling?
T
THOUGHTS
What am I telling myself?
H
HEALING
Where is this coming from?
O
OWN YOUR DREAMS
What do I actually want?
D
DO IT NOW
What am I going to do about it?
Insight alone doesn't change your life. What you do with it does.
Resolve & Rewire™ Sessions
When talking about it hasn't been enough.
We carry unresolved issues from the past because no one taught us what to do with them. Whether it was last week, last year or decades ago, some experiences get stuck, emotionally and in the way we think about ourselves.
Resolve & Rewire™ is an approach I developed from my clinical training and 26 years of experience. It helps you resolve what's still unresolved from the past, and rewire the emotional reaction and the core belief attached to it, so you can truly move on.
Then we build what you want in its place: new beliefs, real confidence and the freedom to use your voice.
Tools we may use
Bilateral sound
Guided visualization
Parts work
Inner child work
Body-based awareness
Working with Christy Maxey
You will:
Quiet your inner critic
Recognize the voice that says you're not enough, and stop letting it run your life.
Understand your emotions
Know what you're feeling and why, and respond instead of react.
Trust yourself
Make decisions with confidence instead of second-guessing everything.
Break old patterns
Change the beliefs and reactions that keep creating the same outcomes.

Real people. Real change.
In their own words.
“This was the most important investment I've ever made in myself… I've been to traditional talk therapists, read a lot of books, listened to podcasts, meditated… deep down I knew I was still suffering. Her method is brilliant. Her ability to hold space is divine. I had a breakthrough moment every session.”
“I have done counseling in the past and it never seemed to go anywhere. 10 sessions with Christy and I have found the strong, capable woman that got lost along the way. I want to shout from a mountain top! I'M BACK!!”
“She gave me a system to change my thinking. I only wish I would have known her 20 years ago… I'm more confident in who I am, less angry and anxious, set better boundaries in all my relationships and I just enjoy my life so much more.”
