More about Christine
- 5 years' experience
- Female
- LCPC
I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in the state of Illinois and earned my M.Ed. in Counseling from DePaul University. I received my undergraduate degree from the University of Iowa in Psychology and Human Relations.
I have experience working in non-profits with at-risk young adults in the city of Chicago as well as experience in private practice working with a myriad of diagnoses including depression, anxiety, adjustment, ADHD, among several others. However, I am less concerned with the clinical diagnosis and more focused on how that impacts your social, occupational, and intrapersonal functioning. I strive to tailor all sessions individually to meet your unique needs.
While working with me, you can expect a safe and confidential setting to help accomplish your goals. I am well versed in CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and psychodynamic approaches to treatment. I appreciate an integrative approach to best suit your needs. Further, as a Certified Mental Health Integrative Medicine Provider I understand the effects nutrition, activity, and environmental factors can and do have on mental health. Looking through a holistic lens we can explore how best to keep your mind, body, and spirit balanced while achieving your individualized goals.
I look forward to working together.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Christine is so helpful. She is kind and listens empathetically. I love working with her.
In the short months, I have been working with Christine I have enjoyed every session and feel glad I took the steps to find the help I needed.
During my time of counseling with Christine, she has been a joy to work with. She provides a safe space to work out my thoughts & to figure out what are possible solutions on my own. Her input is valuable & allows me to look at my life or the situation that I’m in from a different lens, and focuses on building myself up in variety of ways. She’s a great professional & I would recommend her to anyone in need of counseling.
Christine is very professional and welcoming. She is accepting and makes me feel safe when I confide in her. She’s given me great tool to use in managing my emotions and gaining control of my intrusive thoughts.
Christine has helped exponentially with my self-confidence and reassures me every time that I am not alone in my feelings or struggles.
