Hi there, I'm Christine!

Do you feel emotionally stuck and need help? Are you overwhelmed, lost, and tired? You may be facing a life transition, relationship difficulty, or problems managing daily life. Most people need guidance at times. You don't have to go through this alone. Reach out and let's get through this together.

My focus

I am specifically training and specializing in working with the marginalized 2SLGBTQ+, kink, fetish, polyamorous, and BDSM communities suffering from a variety of conditions including mood disorders, depression, anxiety, communication difficulties, trauma, sexual topics, self-confidence and low self-esteem, and gender-affirming care.

My approach

I use a conversational style approach with eclectic techniques. I do not believe that there is ONE cookie-cutter style approach in treating those who come to see me. Treatment is tailored to fit each person's needs. You are in charge of your growth, goals, and treatment! I am here to assist with navigation.
