Accepting new patients! I work with adults and adolescents (14+) who are working through mental health concerns of all types. Many come to see a psychiatric provider feeling exhausted or overwhelmed by high-pressure environments or who are struggling to find a relatable provider who understands the deep link between physical and emotional well-being. My goal is to meet you where you are. Together, we progress using an integrative, trauma-informed approach that blends evidence-based psychiatry and medication management with realistic lifestyle strategies. I offer a safe, collaborative space where you feel truly heard and validated.
I offer comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and whole-person counseling. Rather than treating symptoms in isolation, we’ll explore how sleep, physical health, and stress regulation impact your mind. Using psychopharmacology, trauma-informed care, and practical tools, we'll build a real-world plan tailored to you.
Our first visit is a relaxed 90-minute in-person intake where I will take time to understand your history, worries, and strengths. We will explore treatment options and create a plan tailored to your unique needs together as a team. Through integration of curiosity, patience, and humor, I strive to make this process feel approachable and stress-free.
Take the first step to help. Christine M. Aye now

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice, which is a practical, goal-oriented approach that helps you identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors so you can better manage stress and emotional challenges. I also enact a trauma-informed approach to treatment, recognizing the impact of trauma on your life to help build a safe environment where you can feel more in control.
