About me

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 8 years of clinical counseling experience. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, and esteem and confidence challenges. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.

My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

I am a very positive person who believes people CAN change and find the purpose in their lives.

It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and all it takes is that first step. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!

Christine has a wonderful way of making you feel comfortable to open up. She also provides some great tools or advice. I have learned a lot from her exercises we do to help work through my issues. The tools and examples she gives are very relatable and helpful to refer back to if a similar situation arises. She’s great!

I am transitioning from fulltime employment to retirement - it has not been easy for me- I have also had issues within our family of serious illnesses and addictions. Christine is always there if I need to talk with her. Her advice is reassuring and proactive as I learn how to retire and how to be better at dealing with our family issues. I find Christine compassionate and knowledgeable - plus she has a good sense of humor. She has been very helpful to me.

I really love her technique in helping me to understand the core of things and how to reframe my perspective on deep issues to help me overcome them in a more positive and productive way. She really cares and try’s to understand my problems in a deep way

I didn’t have much hope before my fist session. I’d done therapy previously and hadn’t gotten much from it. After my first session with Christine, I had a really nice sigh of relief and a few tears of hope. Really happy for having chosen to give this a shot.

Christine is kind, thoughtful, validating, and listens. She sends me worksheets that have been extremely helpful. And she texts me between our video sessions to check in. Glad that I picked her!
