I started my practice in 1994 with a desire to help people through their difficult situations. As a father my heart goes out to children. I strive to meet people where they are and help them become the best they can be. The majority of my practice is made up of children and teens but I also work with a number of adults and couples. It is important to note not everyone is ready to face their struggles or change their situation. While I would like to help everyone the person must be ready and motivated for therapy to be effective.

Though this can be challenging, my passion is walking with people to a point of fulfillment and ultimately, to a point where my clients no longer need me. Through consistent work in therapy, using a variety of individualized techniques and therapeutic modalities, it is my hope that my clients truly feel supported and empowered.

The teen years are important years in the development of your child and how they navigate these early life stressors sets a foundation for the rest of their lives.
I believe every individual is an unfolding story. Each decision we make, both big and small, effects our storyline; As an eclectic therapist, I use many approaches because I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all therapy. Each person has learned beliefs they bring into new relationships. Helping to uncover how those beliefs effect their lives is often key to the source of their problems and being able to decide what works for them.

Maybe you’re a parent/caregiver trying to navigate difficult child behaviors.
Hi! I’m Christine Dufrayer and I go by my Hawaiian name Kukui. I’m a licensed marriage and family therapist. Can you think of a time you really felt heard, understood, and supported? That is my goal in the work I do with the wonderful individuals and families I partner with. I have three main approaches in my therapy tool belt- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), play therapy interventions, and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). Understanding how the ways we think, feel, and act are interconnected can be a really important aspect of growth, and making adjustments can help free up that stuck feeling.
