I treat anxiety, depression, trauma and grief/loss; death/dying, miscarriage, birth trauma, divorce, pet loss, ambiguous loss (coma, adoption, dementia, absent parent, emotionally/physically absent, natural disasters...), role changes/struggles (caregiver, empty nester, new parent, new job, loss of job...) and so many more. The clients I work with want someone who can sit with them and witness the deep, vulnerable and sometimes unexpected places that grief can take us. They want someone who throws out cultural constraints on what grief/loss is expected to look like, to accept them as they are and believe in their ability to heal.

I am a nationally registered art therapist and body-centered psychotherapist. Using creative processes helps us develop new ways of thinking and new insights into our actions, reactions, and behaviors-and know that if you don't want to make art, you don't have to. It's always an option and never required.

Are you feeling "stuck", disconnected, or having trouble with stressors in your life? When we are stuck it changes the way we think about ourselves and how we view the world around us. This can lead to feeling disconnected. Every person can experience blind spots in the narrative they tell themselves, this can create challenges in our relationships with our "favorite people." I invite you, your partner, or children a safe space to reconnect with yourself and / or those around you. Together we will work collaboratively to develop strategies that promote healing. I am accepting new clients and work with Mindful Therapy Group.

Life sometimes presents with challenges and obstacles that seem impossible to get through. One may often times feel alone and that there's nowhere to turn; but there truly is. I look at the whole individual and their experience as unique and focus on helping the person reveal their true self; the person they always wanted to be.

Life can feel overwhelming when emotions run deep and relationships become strained. Anxiety, depression, and past wounds can make it hard to connect with others and find peace within yourself. I believe in the healing that happens when we share our stories and experiences with one another in order to grieve the past, accept the present, and voice hope for the future. We will explore how your past impacts your relationships and current life circumstances. I will work with you, your children, or your family to develop coping skills and self-compassion, approaching our work with empathy and care.

Life can feel overwhelming, uncertain, and scary. It doesn’t come with an instruction manual, and we may feel alone in maneuvering different transitions. We may also realize we have certain belief systems that don’t serve us and choose to re-design our sense of selves. During our time together, my goal would be to create a space where you can let your walls down and leave our sessions feeling fully seen and heard, and empowered to create a life that fits your needs.

Sometimes the family and/or relationship process breaks down and people feel stuck. Relationships require us to be close in some ways and apart in other ways. This helps people be authentic with themselves and trusting of each other. With this trust and authenticity, people develop a new process for solving problems.

So, you’ve been in therapy, you’ve read the self-help books, you've done the introspection. But nothing actually seems to change and the same old problems keep popping up. You might be feeling frustrated and unsure what to do next. You might be feeling anxious, stressed, depressed, or maybe just “meh” about life. You’re going through the motions and doing all the “right” things, but it’s not working out like everyone said it would. You’re not happy. Or, maybe you keep having conflicts with others and constantly feel misunderstood. You might have even been told to get a therapist and work on yourself.

At its core, I believe therapy is an opportunity to process and understand our past while also growing into the people we want to be. Life can be so brutal and complicated; we deserve a safe place to talk and explore. I want to take a moment and recognize your bravery in beginning this counseling process. I believe that life throws us curve balls and everyone, at times, needs some assistance in learning to cope effectively. I believe that you have incredible value and are capable of conquering your hardships. I strive to maintain a safe, comforting, and trusting environment to do that exploring.

As a systemic therapist, I believe in the exploration of all cultural and societal messages, norms, and values that have shaped my clients into who they are today. Making the brave decision to begin therapy is often preceded by many obstacles and challenges, and it is important to me to take the necessary time to walk through clients' stories and reflect on their experiences. I work to create a safe, trusting, and open environment where my clients and I can exchange constructive feedback. I believe that the therapy room is a space for emotional vulnerability, reflection, and growth.

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.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?

The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors.

Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?

Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.

Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

What type of therapy is right for me?

The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.

How much does therapy cost?

The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the United States could cost between $100 and $200 or more. If you have insurance, the expense of mental health care is typically lower, but it varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider.

What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?

Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.

Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?

Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.

Is online therapy a good option?

Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.

Are therapy sessions confidential?

Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship. Therapists in the United States are bound by the regulations set out by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), which aims to protect sensitive health information. With very few exceptions, a therapist will only discuss their client with others when the client has given their written permission. The instances in which a therapist would be required to disclose personal information are: if a client poses a danger to themselves or others, if the therapist suspects the abuse of a child or an elderly or otherwise dependent adult, or if they are legally forced to by court order. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed with a client before their first session.
