Christine is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), National Certified Counselor (NCC), and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) with experience working with individuals across the lifespan, beginning as young as age 3 through end of life. She has a strong focus on working with children and adolescents, supporting them through emotional, behavioral, and life challenges in a way that feels safe, engaging, and developmentally appropriate.
Her approach is strength-based and client-centered, meeting each client where they are while building on their existing strengths. Christine utilizes evidence-based practices such as Solution-Focused Therapy and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), and also incorporates creative and expressive modalities including play therapy, art therapy, sand tray, and color-based interventions. These approaches are especially helpful for children and teens who may have difficulty expressing themselves through words alone.
Christine also brings 11 years of experience as a home-based therapist in Arizona, where she provided services in clients’ homes, schools, and communities. This experience deepened her understanding of how environment, family dynamics, and daily stressors impact mental health, and continues to inform her work today.
Her goal is to create a supportive and respectful space where clients feel comfortable, understood, and empowered to work through challenges, build coping skills, and move forward with confidence.
