8/9/26- no waitlist! Hey! I’m Belle. I opened my private practice Down to Earth Therapy last summer. My goal is being down to earth- you’re human, I’m human, I’m not here to judge you, and I am on your team. I think you should be picky about who you choose as your therapist. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, so I focus more on your situation/history and less on your diagnosis (unless you ask otherwise of me). My top areas are ADHD, relationships, and trauma- but of course, I cover a wide variety of areas. If any of this resonates with you, shoot me a message. I answer!

First, I want to acknowledge how difficult it is to decide to make a change in your life when it comes to Substance Use Disorders. My ideal client doesn’t even have to be sure they’re ready to cease use; all I ask is that you come in with an open-mind and open-heart while remaining curious about the possibilities.

I've spent two decades helping people untangle worry, sadness, trauma, and the big life changes that sneak up on all of us. The heart of it is always the same: two people talking honestly, one human to another. I work with people struggling with relationship issues, anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, self-doubt, and challenging life transitions. If you're feeling powerless or like your inner critic is in control, we can work together to uncover what's blocking you from finding meaning, joy, and purpose.

If you've made it this far and you're reading this, you must be a Warrior. Really. Having Substance Use Disorder (SUD), or loving someone who has SUD, is not for the weak at heart. I liken it's reach to a tornado, an EF5 tornado actually. But here's the thing; You and I working together - we are to SUD what FEMA is to a tornado. Together, we can pick up the wreckage, organize it, decide what parts you want to keep, which ones you want to fix, and where to start fresh. You are not alone. In fact, 1 in 3 American families are struggling with SUD in the home. 22 Million Americans are in long-term recovery. All of them needed help too.

One of the issues I encounter a lot in therapy is people struggling with a diminished sense of purpose in their lives. I see this across the age span as transitions occur (e.g. death of a loved one, divorce, loss of a friendship, retirement, disability, adult offspring moving away or going no-contact, etc). With those losses we realize how much of our identity we built around those relationships; it can be hard to imagine what life could look like going forward. Depression and anxiety can ensue - inertia, lack of motivation to get out there and try to live the best life we have left within those realities of loss/sorrow.

I enjoy working with people who find themselves at a fork in the road; at that place in life where they are ready to act or think differently or find themselves struggling to function when life becomes different. I have a passion for supporting cancer survivors and folks with chronic illnesses. I also have spent a great deal of my career working with neurodivergent folks navigating the unique challenges of functioning in a neurotypical world. If any of this resonates with you, we may be a good fit.

Hi, I'm Christine! I base my work in the belief that our well-being is shaped by our relationships- how we relate to others, our environment, and self. When we feel a safe connection in these areas, it's easier to be more present with life's joys and feel resilient when faced with stress. When we feel unsafe or disconnected, it's natural to become stuck in anger, fear, criticism, or sadness. Over time, this can change how we see ourselves and our ability to make meaningful choices. I understand what it's like to feel stuck in survival mode and how challenging it can be to find safety.

What therapy types help with codependency problems?
Both couples and family therapy and cognitive and behavioral therapy (CBT) can help with the relationship difficulties referred to as codependency. Such problems typically include inappropriate feelings of responsibility for a loved one’s destructive behavior, irrational patterns of thinking about such behavior, and family interaction patterns in which the needs of one troubled member override the needs of others in a household.
What happens in therapy for codependency?
Spouses and family members learn and practice how to interact and support each other in a healthy way without sacrificing their own needs or well-being. They learn the limits of their responsibility for their loved ones and correct faulty patterns of thinking and feeling that underlie codependent behavior. Individuals may be encouraged to nurture an array of social relationships and to cultivate their own talents and interests so that they develop a healthy sense of self outside the family.
How does therapy help a person or couple overcome codependency?
Therapy helps people establish healthy ways of being in a relationship. Spouses and family members learn how to nurture and support one another without sacrificing their own needs or allowing the needs of one person to dominate the dynamic. Individuals learn how to say no and set boundaries, and how to maintain their own identity and self-esteem. Therapy helps people understand that they are not responsible for the feelings and actions of others. It also helps individuals deal with the turbulence that can come from living with a person suffering from such conditions as substance abuse and mental illness.
What is the goal of therapy for codependency?
One goal of therapy for codependency is to alleviate feelings of responsibility for and correct irrational patterns of thinking about loved ones whose behavioral problems override the needs of others in a household. Therapy helps people establish healthy boundaries of behavior and speak up for their own needs in a relationship. In addition, people learn how to maintain a healthy relationship, one in which both parties give and receive equally and are able to retain their own identity.
