Christine Joseph, LMFT I specialize in healing a broken heart and finding love. I work primarily with young adults dealing with family-of-origin conflicts, working through choosing a career path and helping to navigate the beginning and end of romantic relationships. One day during meditation a voice said: Seek therapy! I was unsure what the voice meant so I became a therapist :) It worked out fantastically. I've been a practicing therapist since I was 26yrs old. I still love what I do.

"Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it." Rumi. I believe we build barriers as an attempt to protect ourselves from childhood and adult relational traumas however, these mind and body defenses are no longer necessary and block us from what we truly want in life; inadvertently causing more suffering than protection. The symptoms of these barriers manifest as depression, anxiety, addiction ,,, as well as physical illness.

Hello and welcome! If you are considering therapy, I understand the first step to finding the right therapist for you can be overwhelming. I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship can be used as an intervention in and of itself. My goal is to meet you where you are at and create a compassionate and secure environment where you feel respected and heard.

Therapy seeks to address the patterns and unresolved material unique to each of us which hampers our ability to connect meaningfully with others and limits our capacity for joy. I work with couples and individuals looking to deepen their understanding of themselves and work collaboratively to cultivate curiosity, authenticity, honesty, self-compassion, and the ability to tolerate difficult feelings. I use a combination of gestalt therapy, psychodynamic therapy, relational therapy, EMDR, and somatic interventions when working with individuals. My couple’s work is mainly inspired by family systems theory and imago therapy.

I don't believe there is an ideal client. I believe everyone is different and needs someone to realize that their experiences are unique and important. A client needs someone who is not going place a label them or follow only the lessions we learned in graduate school. Someone who is going to listen and help guide them to the best solution for them. As your Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), my commitment is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space for you to explore your emotions and experiences. Your well-being is my top priority, and I am honored to support you every step of the way.

Life is a rollercoaster, full of ups and downs and unexpected outcomes. It is a journey we learn to navigate with a combination of our personal strengths, fears, profound life experiences, values and beliefs. During the most difficult times, our beliefs, opinions and attitudes are challenged and this has a significant impact on our mind and body. By taking the first big step and being open to working with me, I will be providing a safe, non judgmental, kind and empathetic client centered relationship with you. We will work on difficult relationships, challenging experiences and transitions in your life, one step at a time.

I view therapy as a search to discover more meaning and satisfaction in life, free from crippling symptoms. Although crisis often drives people into therapy, they often leave with precious opportunites for new life. Energy that had been spent managing problems like anxiety, addiction and depression can be used to create a life of healthy purpose and pleasure. I view my role as providing therapeutic presence to create a safe environment and caring relationship, elements necessary to support one's search for authentic self and healthy self-expression.

We aren't born knowing how to be caregivers, nor can we ever fully anticipate the challenges of the role. Many of us don’t even recognize that we are caregivers - we see ourselves simply as daughters, sons, spouses, or family members doing what needs to be done. We might feel joy in caring for a loved one or resentment for looking after someone who never cared for us. Regardless, we may feel like we are not doing enough to take care of our family member and often worry that no matter what we do, it will never be enough.

Parenthood and family building is shown as this easy goal full of joy and magic, but your experience has been the exact opposite. You are surprised at how you feel: overwhelmed, anxious, angry, alone, devastated. You find yourself consumed with the “what ifs” and guilt. Scary thoughts come up and you feel a deep loss that is difficult to put to words. You wonder: Will you ever feel normal again? And what will normal even look like? In our work together, you can learn coping strategies, examine beliefs that leave us feeling stuck, process trauma, develop self compassion, and build confidence in your parenting abilities.

Do you feel like you've lost Hope?! Do you often feel like what's the point? Do you feel like you are just surviving? Hope! Hope; noun; 1 - A feeling or expectation and desire for a certain thing to happen. 2 - A feeling of trust. Hope; Verb; Example: - I Hope therapy helps me and I Hope I learn the skills I need to move through this experience. I truly believe as a therapist that hope is the catalyst for change. Hope propels us to keep trying. When we feel stuck due to trauma holding us back, our thought distortions, or our self-sabotaging, HOPE still is present and propelling us to move forward. Step by Step.

I believe that each of us are experts in our lives and my goal in therapy is to support people finding meaning and purpose in their lives by providing safe and non-judgement space. One of my favorite quotes in life is “I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become” by Carl G. Jung.
