Welcome! My name is Christine and connecting with people has been a passion of mine since as early as I can remember. I grew up moving frequently (living on three different continents before I was 18) and traveling the world which perpetuated my curiosity and desire to understand the diversity and complexity of the human experience. I believe all behavior makes sense given context and my therapy process is an eclectic approach designed to guide you toward compassionately discovering what is driving your unhelpful behaviors.
My approach varies based on the client’s personality and needs, but is heavily influenced by Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems and the neurobiology of trauma.
My therapy room is a safe space for people of all cultural backgrounds, identities, and relationship structures. I am an ally to members of the LGBTQ+ community, and non-binary individuals. I believe the most important part of therapy is creating a space, where clients feel seen, heard, valued and understood.
