For the past 28 years, I have truly enjoyed helping individuals who really want to get well and are willing to work hard to achieve full recovery. I Have a Heart for helping Trauma Victims of all ages get to the root of the pain that keeps them stuck in their lives and relationships. Victims of Trauma often spend a lifetime reenacting their trauma in one relationship after another, until they finally give up on trying to "get it right".

I believe that all individuals will encounter a time in their lives when they will be facing some form of hardship, conflict, or distress. The ability for someone to recognize that they cannot go it alone and need a partner to assist them in navigating life situations is where I come into play. I believe that individuals can make the changes necessary in their lives with the proper supports and skills provided through counseling. Individuals who are ready to put in the work needed to navigate this life are the ones who will succeed.

Providing a safe space, being entrusted with vulnerability, and bearing witness to healing is an awe inspiring and mutually rewarding experience. Therefore, a good relationship is the first priority in therapy. Christine realizes that successful treatment begins with a strong therapeutic rapport. This focus allows clients to feel safe and understood, which is a strong catalyst for progress towards healing and achieving goals. Positive results can only occur once a therapeutic alliance is developed.

I like to work with people who are internally motivated to learn and grow and desire to live meaningful and fulfilling lives. Whatever challenges they are facing I want them to know that working with me will at some point mean paying attention to and allowing themselves to feel their feelings. A conscious relationship with self is had through attending to the feelings we have about ourselves. Understanding feelings will be essential in generating improved self-awareness and a sense of personal integrity.

Life can feel hard or overwhelming and sometimes we can all use a little help. I have over 12 years of clinical experience working with individuals, couples, and groups helping them navigate through various life issues they have faced. Some of my work with individuals has included dealing with anxiety, depression, self esteem and intimacy issues as well as working through traumatic experiences. In my work with couples, I have assisted in strengthening communication skills, finding areas for connection, and creating healthier boundaries and expectations, couple intimacy, sexual issues and dysfunction.

What a Stressful world we are living in today! Sometimes life can feel overwhelming. In a society that values hard work over mental health, it can be difficult to carve out time for yourself. As challenging as it is, you deserve to find balance and peace in your life. There is a way to find happiness again and to improve relationships with the ones you love. It is my passion to teach self-love, acceptance, relaxation techniques, and empowerment to women, couples, and families. With this in mind, we will uncover root causes of suffering and work towards healing and solutions.

"Currently offering sessions via Telehealth/online as we navigate this new terrain together." Life can sometimes feel overwhelming, and relationships like a constant struggle. We have a knowledge that it wasn’t meant to be this way and feel compelled to take the first steps toward wholeness but sometimes don’t know where to begin. Through compassion and empathy, I partner with clients to begin their healing journey. I seek first to understand their story, providing a safe and secure place to process the pain. It is my core belief that no problem is too messy and no challenging situation is without hope.

Your heart is pounding. Thoughts are racing through your mind. You can't seem to catch your breath. "Am I having a heart attack?" "What's wrong with me?" "Should I call an ambulance?" If you've experienced these symptoms, you know how truly frightening they can be. Maybe you have ended up in the emergency room, just to be told that there is nothing physically wrong with you? Maybe you find yourself cancelling plans at the last minute. You're wanting to get out, have fun, and live your best life, but something keeps holding you back, telling you that it's not safe to do so. This is anxiety, taking hold and stifling you!

Teens and women ago through various life stages of young adulthood, conception, pregnancy, postpartum, infertility and loss. Each of these life stages come with unique challenges, which can feel overwhelming, and leave you grasping at straws trying to make life easier and make sense of it all. Even though these life challenges can be difficult, they can provide an opportunity for growth, self awareness, exploring your strengths, and finding hope. I enjoy working with teen girls, young adult women, and moms who may be feeling overwhelmed about daily life expectations, changing roles, and the day to day ins and outs of life.

I believe that simply being truly listened to can be powerful and transformative. Beyond that, many come to counseling to process past traumas and experiences, change behaviors, or develop new, healthier coping skills. While I use an eclectic approach to counseling that draws from techniques grounded in behavioral and existential theories, my ultimate goal is to tailor the experience for the unique person you are.

Life can be messy, and it is okay to not be okay; but you do not have to face life’s challenges alone. As a Licensed Master Social Worker, I believe counseling should be a supportive and compassionate collaboration in which clients are accepted where they are in the present and are valued as the experts of their experiences. Life doesn’t happen in a vacuum, and I will work closely with individuals to consider their relationship with their environments in order to explore areas of strength as well as areas for potential growth.

Life becomes too difficult; you need an objective someone to talk to, listen to your story, and provide encouragement that you can not only survive what you are going through, but work to find purpose and meaning in the midst of the storm. The most important aspect of therapy is the Client-Therapist relationship. Once it is determined that the Client is comfortable with me, then it is a collaborative effort to help facilitate the healing process through the life changes the Client faces. My job is to provide a safe place for change and growth to happen.

The unspeakable has happened - you lost your loved one to sudden death. Right now, it feels like you'll never recover. The pain is unbearable. There's no escape. You can't even focus your eyes. The agony is blinding. You can't run from it, and it's to immense to process. Every time you reach for the phone for help, something stops you. How could anyone possibly understand this pain? Each day it becomes worse - it's like a physical weight pinning you down, you can't move. You don't have to suffer through this moment alone.

Whether your child is struggling to make it through a school day without getting in trouble, your teen struggles to overcome the thoughts that burden them, or you’re wanting to finally experience the freedom you have been chasing after, it would be an honor to come alongside you in your healing journey.
