Christine works with you and your parts on every issue. She is professional but not cold. You will get to read some notes about your session that help you remember what you went over. She is flexible and accommodating and you get to do some really cool work with her!

Christine is one of a kind. I feel very comfortable opening up and talking to her.

Christine is professional but also still makes you feel relaxed and comfortable to open up. Christine has never made me feel like there is a timer sitting there running out in our sessions.

Christine has a style which is firm and empathetic. She listens, gets curious, and gives me tools to navigate my inner world with curiosity and compassion. I’ve used some of the tools she taught me and have felt lighter within one session. Other times even when I felt like I had no one to turn to, Christine was always a text away. Letting me know that I’m not as alone as I thought I was. I know she cares, and wants me to be well. I am confident of her ability and capacity as a therapist for me

I was wary about not doing therapy in person but Christine is great. Her methods really click with me, she's a good listener and encouraging when I need it. She's also great at pushing the right buttons to bring the real issues to the surface. It's been a positive experience for me.
