About Christine
Christine focuses on practical, conversational therapy. She and the client build a treatment plan that fits the person's goals and daily life. Sessions are tailored to what a client needs right now, whether that means coping strategies, communication practice, or planning next steps.
Her work includes helping people navigate intimacy issues, body image concerns, chronic illness or pain, and the aftereffects of trauma or abuse. She also supports those facing career questions, financial stress, or midlife transitions. Christine uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to each situation.
Many clients come to address anger, impulsivity, or feelings of isolation and shame. Christine aims to create a space where people can talk through hard feelings and try new ways of handling problems. She encourages steady progress and realistic goals.
Taking the first step can feel risky, and Christine offers steady support through that process. She frames therapy as a collaborative effort, helping people discover what works for them and move toward more satisfying daily life.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Christine uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach emphasizes structured problem solving and skill building to reduce anxiety and manage stress; it helps people develop routines, break tasks into steps, and practice coping tools. Another approach centers on improving relationships and attachment patterns by identifying interaction habits and rehearsing clearer communication and boundaries.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals, needs, and preferences. That means checking in about what feels helpful and adjusting strategies over time so the plan matches real life.
Confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow quicker check-ins during transitions like pregnancy or postpartum. It can also let someone choose a shorter phone conversation when video would be difficult, or a full session when more time is needed for deeper conversation. Licensed professionals can help arrange a schedule that fits daily routines and responsibilities.
