Please note: All sessions are conducted in ASL (American Sign Language) only. There will not be any verbal interactions during the appointment. Thank you for taking the time to consider working together. I am a deaf licensed clinical social worker that specializes in working with the Deaf, Hard of Hearing, Deaf Blind, CODA/SODA's (Children of Deaf Adults, or Spouse/Partners of Deaf Adults) and the interpreting community. By incorporating a holistic approach with specific focus on the mind-body-spirit, I will meet you where you are at, and assist you with figuring out the next steps to take in feeling more whole again.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

During the first few appointments, we will work together while I gather information on what you are seeking and hoping to get out of your sessions. Therapy is all about you, and what you need in order to lead a more fulfilling and functional life.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

As an intuitive person, I'm here to support you on your life's journey by offering tools or tips that might be beneficial to you. Every individual is unique, whole and complete. Sometimes we have a hard time acknowledging this part and embracing who we are. Perhaps you need extra support or creative tools to help navigate where you are at this moment in life. If you are seeking holistic approaches with an emphasis on spirituality, in order to release old energies on your healing journey, you've come to the right place. Reconnecting with yourself is part of the process.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

This is a great match for who are seeking to deepen their connection with themselves through creative means such as shadow work or integrative therapy approaches where multiple therapy techniques are used in one session that is uniquely fitted for you.

Christine is always actively listening without an judgement and it helps me open up and see things from a different perspective at times.
