About Christine
She brings a background in nursing that informs how she talks about women's health and life transitions. That clinical experience combines with seven years as a counselor to shape straightforward care. Sessions emphasize listening first, then building small, doable steps forward.
Christine uses approaches rooted in collaboration. She helps clients spot unhelpful thinking patterns, tune into emotions, and practice present-moment awareness. Work in sessions often includes gentle reflection, practical skills for coping, and setting realistic goals between meetings.
She is attentive to issues like anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and relationship strain. She also addresses concerns such as sleep problems, self-esteem, addiction, ADHD, and feelings of isolation or shame. Christine aims to make therapy a steady, confidence-building process rather than a rush to quick fixes.
Her style is warm and respectful, inviting people to move at a pace that fits them. She supports those navigating the emotional complexities of caregiving and life-stage transitions. Starting therapy with her is framed as a collaborative step toward clearer choices and better daily functioning.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. The therapist follows your lead, reflects your experience, and helps you identify what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions; it teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful thinking and manage symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name strong feelings and repair patterns that interfere with close relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Christine will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and how they respond to different methods. That collaboration helps decide whether to emphasize skills training, emotional exploration, or a mix tailored to the situation.
Confirm available session formats before booking, since the profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some formats require less bandwidth or allow audio-only meetings, which can help on hectic days. The focus is on practical access and matching therapy to a person’s everyday life rather than promising a particular delivery mode.
