Hello! I have over 10 years of experience as a Licensed Independent Social Worker, with my supervision designation. My experience includes counseling in areas of grief and loss, life changes, chronic illness, anxiety, depression and much more. I believe that talk therapy is most effective when an established and trusting therapeutic bond is formed. My approach is driven by client needs and I often utilize an integrated approach with multiple modalities including CBT, mindfulness, person-centered, supportive and strengths based therapies. I try my best to choose my words with clients and to help them find insight into their own words and behaviors.
"Words are, in my not-so-humble opinion, our most inexhaustible source of magic. Capable of both inflicting injury, and remedying it."- Albus Dumbledore
When I am not counseling clients, I teach at a local university in the social work program and provide license supervision to new social workers.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Christine listens, validates, supports and challenges. I so appreciate her feedback and the space to process with someone who can catch my thinking errors and helps me correct them.
I’ve had a few therapists over the years, and I’ve never connected so well with anyone else. Christine listens so well and makes me feel hopeful. She’s given me so many tools to survive my anxiety and supports me at my own pace. She responds in a super timely manner and it’s always comforting to hear from her. So thankful for you, Christine!
