I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Michigan with over 4 years of experience working as a clinical therapist and intervention specialist. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, panic disorder, intermittent explosive disorder, communication concerns, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, career challenges, ADHD, trauma, and PTSD. I also have helped many people who struggle with addiction including, but not limited to, substance use.
My therapy style is warm, engaging, and person-centered. I believe you are the expert on yourself and my role in this therapeutic relationship is to support you. Each client has their own individual characteristics and I utilize a variety of approaches to tailor a unique plan with each client. My practice theories include; cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, mindfulness, strength-based, solution-focused, motivational interviewing, attachment theory, and didactic.
The approach I take towards the therapeutic relationship is heavy with compassion, supportive like a friendship, filled to the brim with positive regard for you, and desire for you achieve the absolute best things out of life.
"Compassion is not a relationship between a healer and the wounded. It's a relationship between equals. Only when we know our darkness well, can we be present with the darkness of others. Compassion becomes real when we recognize our shared humanity." -- Pema Chödrön
I am here to support and encourage you. I look forward to working together!

I’ve been working with Christine in and off for almost two years and there is never another therapist that I could imagine I would trust and open up to as much as I have with her. Her ability to listen, relate, and advise is amazing. She made me feel strong enough to finally do what I needed for myself in life.

Christine is the best therapist I have had ever period. Throughout my therapy experience I’ve jumped between multiple bad for me fits with therapist, which is understandable people have unique needs, however, the Betterhelp algorithm matched me with Christine and it’s been great since. Not only do I feel like my therapy has been good for myself personally, but also my relationships with others. Christine is accommodating in more ways than one, a rescheduling, a less intensive session, a change in type of session, and multiple other adaptations that no other therapist has offered me. Absolutely can not recommend her enough!

Christine is kind and helpful. It is difficult to get started with a new therapist, but she makes the transition comfortable by being fully present in conversation and taking time to truly understand what brought you to her. I have been with Christine for 6+ months and I am very happy with the therapeutic relationship that we have built. She is kind, supportive, and always has my best interest in mind. My voice is truly heard in our sessions. Thank you Christine!

Christine is absolutely amazing, openminded, and easy to talk to. She makes me feel very comfortable and supported, and like I can open up and talk with her about anything I want to work on. Not only that, she gives me many tools and possible solutions to issues that I see I'm having, and also helps me recognize things I had never seen about myself before. She is wonderful!

This is my first time with a therapist and I heard a lot of things about you don’t always find one that will help right away. I really wasn’t sure how to know if my therapist was a good one because I have never had one. After a couple weeks talking with Christine I really understand a good therapist. The clarity in my life is beyond mind blowing. I really appreciate her and I am seeing so much progress in my life. 10 out of 10 for sure.
