My goal is to help people find meaning and purpose in life, find common pathways between actions and thoughts and create a safe place to find positive solutions. I can find creative ways to approach growth and change in daily lives. For many people, change is difficult, and they cannot move past the barrier of unfamiliar feelings. Together, we find solutions that help move away from anxiety and unfamiliar feelings towards self-confidence.
I am an experienced, trained and Licensed Marriage and Family therapist, Clinical Supervisor for MFT and MHC, and a life coach specializing in treating individuals with mental, emotional or behavioral disorders or couples experiencing relationship distress. I am skilled to treat disorders and the impact these disorders have on an interpersonal level, relationship networks such as social setting, school, dating, marriage relationships and families. I have worked with individuals, couples and families with all types of needs including mental health issues, relationship or family issues, intimacy and sexuality, relationship addiction, co-dependency, self-esteem, abuse in all forms, deciding to separate or breakup and working through the break up for almost 10 years both online and in my private practice. Not only am I a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I consultant as a Family Divorce Mediator, Child Custody Evaluator, a Nationally Certified Parent Instructor and a Qualified Parent Coordinator.
Empathy, compassion and understanding help to take a relational, non-judgmental approach to my work. I aim to make each client feel accomplishment and strength along with realizing their role in finding positive change. I specialize in helping people improve their individual selves or their relationships, move out of feeling stuck, and reduce their anxiety, depression or anger. I encourage a non-adversarial approach in identifying individual, needs and strengths to determine where the breakdown in an individual or relationship occurred in order to strengthen, restructure, reorganize and rebuild.
My innate strength of understanding, empathy, compassion, and integrity is my foundation for professional services. My instinctive strengths help in my ability to effectively identify and determine unhealthy individual or relationship patterns to provide direct, simple and straight forward techniques of communicating. This is instrumental in helping people stay grounded, focused and validated. I am a kind, empathetic, compassionate and thoughtful therapist with a personality and list of skills that sets me apart.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy correspond with my style; However, I prefer to individualize treatment for each client by choosing the specific type of theory or therapy that meets individual, relationship or family needs that target the desired outcome of therapy.

Honestly every session I had with Christine was incredibly helpful! I looked forward to our chats every week knowing I would gain so much from even just 30 minutes with her. Thanks to her unparalleled knowledge and compassionate guidance I learned so much about myself and how things in my life have brought me to this point. I feel confident knowing I am walking away from this experience with a new outlook on things and a very handy toolbox of techniques and skills to cope with and confront my issues and any other things life throws my way. Thanks for everything Christine, I'm very grateful I had the chance to work with you these past few months!

I'm very grateful Christine and I connected. With her help, knowledge, suggestions, support, genuine acceptance and understanding of my personal choices, and with my own desire to educate myself and do the inner work, I can deeply feel myself very much lifted from the traumatized anxious state I was in. I feel like therapy is a team effort and I'm glad she's been such an amazing partner through my learning and healing journey, and still is!

I feel like I have a mountain of issues that need to be overcome, but Christine helps me to tackle them one at a time and in a way that helps me and is not overwhelming. Christine is respectful and kind, and I feel that she is genuinely interested in my life when I talk to her. She encourages me and celebrates my progress in terms of mental health and also in other areas of my life. It isn't a magical quick-fix, but she is helping me, bit by bit.

I've been working with Christine for a few months now and can honestly say I'm in a much, much better place than I was when I started. After my dad passed away when I was 20, I was feeling overwhelmed and like a ticking time bomb. I knew I should speak to someone, but was afraid of not being understood. Christine is an amazing listener asks great questions, but will also (kindly) challenge you when exhibiting harmful or self-deprecating behavior or tendencies. The "homework" Christine gives is very helpful in keeping me focused on what I'm trying to work on throughout the week, and I find our calls to be really structured and productive as a result. I've worked on everything from grief to relationship issues and body/self-confidence with Christine and she's been extremely helpful in guiding me through all of it.

Christine is a very knowledgeable and kind person. I feel listened to during our sessions and her patience whilst I try and find the correct wording to express my thoughts and feelings on a particular issue are very much appreciated. Her prompts and questions are thoughtful and help me to direct our discussions to a more meaningful place. Her suggestions/goals both throughout and at the end of our weekly sessions feel achievable and help to set me up for a week of self-improvement.

Christine has a very caring and gentle personality. She listens very well, keeps an open mind and asks good questions to get to the bottom of problems. She also takes quite an active role so it feels like you're having a conversation with a good friend who cares for your wellbeing rather than speaking into a sound recorder. The sound recorder experience is what I have had with previous counsellors. It might be effective eventually but I feel very frustrated in the process. Sessions with Christine feel comfortable and productive while hopefully also actually getting to the root of things.

I sought support suring a particularly difficult point in my life and was matched with Christine based on what I'd said I needed.
During the approximately six months I've been working with her, Christine has been an invaluable source of support through what turned out to be a particularly turbulent period of time.
She made suggestions and gave me things to work on and helped me to understand where I should be focusing rather than allowing myself to be succeptible to other people who might seek to use me for their own gains.
I found her extremely easy to talk to, she showed empathy and quickly responded to messages I sent during times of crisis and went out of her way to ensure that I got support quickly during an emergency.
I am so grateful for all the support.

Christine constantly checks up on me between our sessions through the apps messages and keeps things in mind to be discussed thoroughly within our next session. One of the many things that were mostly helpful was her recommendations of the books to read and the different resources that can be looked more into to have a deeper understanding and awareness regarding the matter discussed. In addition to the activities she recommends to do to overcome certain thoughts and help track one’s own progress. I am very grateful that I got matched to Christine!

I have had a great experience with Christine as my counselor over the last few months.

I've gone from debilitating anxiety and low mood to flourishing as a capable individual in my time with Christine. She has helped me considerably with understanding people's actions, my own reactions and re-framing my negative thought patterns, which has helped me to separate fact from feeling.

Christine was amazing. I previously had really great results with an in-office therapist and while I had my suspensions, I had very high expectations for online counseling because the one thing I struggled with in-office is feeling as though my therapist was unavailable to me until our next scheduled appointment. Christine was very responsive from day one and even if the time didn't show as available for chat, video or call on her calendar, I would let her know it was urgent and she would fit me in. Among many things, she is a great listener and it is obvious she does not judge, cares about what you're feeling, and truly wants to help you. Words can't express how grateful I am for Christine.
