Christine is a strong advocate for all her clients; ensuring everyone feels heard and validated. She also has a direct, straightforward approach when speaking to clients and/or their families. Christine has a way of delivering tough subject matters in a kind and caring way to the client and/or family in a way they understand the information,

“It’s important the client and/or families are provided with the facts so that they can make an educated decision that needs to be made at that time.”

Christine understands the importance of the “family unit” so she embraces the family as a whole and monitors the larger picture. In some instances, Christine will have one or both parents come in for a session without the client to help the parent(s) with whatever distress they may be experiencing.

“I cannot expect my client to do well if someone in the immediate family is not doing well.”

She understands life can be tough, and it does not feel fair at times. However, Christine also believes we all have the tools and ability needed to overcome life’s obstacles. However, we all have not been taught how to use those tools yet.

“Therapy is not meant to be a lifelong process in most cases. Therapy is meant to be a stepping stone in life where we can learn to use the tools we already have so each individual can better handle their life’s challenges.”

Christine’s professional interests focus on children with trauma, the LGBTQ community, and bridging the gap between healthcare and mental healthcare.
