VERIFIED PATIENT TESTIMONIAL

Hi there, I'm Christine!

I'm a caring and non-judgmental therapist who works with women facing PTSD, anxiety, panic, depression, and related challenges. I actively collaborate with clients regardless of faith background and happily integrate spiritual or holistic practices when requested. My approach is warm, structured, and focused on building the coping tools you need.

My focus

I specialize in working with women experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD, OCD, panic attacks, relationship issues, and parenting challenges. I also support conflict resolution, spiritual growth, work-life balance, and life coaching. Gradual exposure helps traumatic memories process correctly, reducing symptoms and improving overall functioning.

My approach

I use CBT, exposure therapy, and DBT to help you quickly build coping skills and reduce symptoms. My approach is active, structured, yet flexible. For PTSD and panic, we create an individualized plan targeting your specific symptoms—addressing emotions, thoughts, behaviors, and physical responses to trauma reminders.
