VERIFIED PATIENT TESTIMONIAL

Hi there, I'm Christine!

I believe trust and rapport are essential in therapy. Finding the right therapist is like finding the right shoes—sometimes it takes a few tries. My approach is strength-based and solution-focused, guiding you through tough subjects at your pace. Change can be hard, but it's important for moving past what's blocking you.

My focus

I work with individuals and couples facing anxiety, depression, grief, loss, and relationship difficulties. Many clients discover their current struggles stem from difficult childhood experiences. I welcome LGBTQ individuals and couples, providing affirming support for all identities and relationships.

My approach

I use Solution-Focused, Strength-Based, and Person-Centered approaches. I take time to guide you through difficult subjects, helping you identify your strengths and build practical solutions. Therapy isn't always easy, but working through challenges together helps you move forward and feel better.
