She encourages people to recognize their strengths and take the first step toward change.
Christine listens first and builds treatment around each person's goals. She uses straightforward tools to address mood, coping, and communication. Her approach is practical: clients leave sessions with steps they can try between appointments.
Her background includes long-term work with people facing grief, trauma, and self-esteem difficulties. She also supports those managing sleep and eating concerns, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Adoption and foster care are listed among additional areas of focus Christine attends to when they arise in clients' stories.
Therapy sessions often blend acceptance strategies with skills training and emotion-focused work. Christine draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to match approaches to the problem at hand.
Christine aims for a calm, respectful treatment space where clients can try new ways of coping. She helps people set small, achievable goals and checks progress each week. If someone wants to begin, she asks them to complete a short questionnaire to find a good match and schedule the first appointment.
How therapy approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns. CBT often helps with depression, anxiety, and sleep or eating concerns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and work through strong emotions and can be helpful for relationship and intimacy-related issues.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Christine will work together with each person to pick methods that fit their goals and preferences. Sessions can mix approaches and adapt over time as needs evolve.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, or allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Many people find remote sessions help them practice new skills in real life between meetings and keep momentum during periods of change.
