Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Connecticut. I received my Masters from the University of Connecticut and have been practicing for 13 years. I've been licensed for 10 years. Over the course of my career, I have primarily worked in outpatient settings providing therapy to teens and adults. I strive to create a safe, supportive environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to grow.
In our first session together, I'll start with a brief introduction, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. I find it helpful to gather data through obtaining measuring screens (which I usually request every 60 days). At the end, we'll create a tailored treatment plan to work through in follow-up sessions.
I value obtaining data through measuring tools to help support and inform treatment. I value creating treatment goals that help inform both the provider and client on whether therapy is accomplishing desire outcomes.
I enjoy working and helping adults struggling with depression, anxiety, and Autism (level 1). I enjoy the process of clients becoming the best versions of themselves. My clients experiencing depression and anxiety often feel stuck, alone, misunderstood, and overwhelmed. My work with clients with Autism (level 1) are higher functioning and experience difficulties with flexible thinking, communication, perspective taking, social problem solving, making friends, navigating dating, and living independently.

As a person of faith, I enjoy integrating spiritual principals to support clients in navigating their mental health and spiritual journey. (Only applicable for appropriate clients)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is the cornerstone of talk therapy. This evidence-based practice has been successful in treating mental, behavioral, emotional, & relational concerns. In my practice, I value building your understanding of your own thoughts, feelings, & behaviors to make sense of major themes in your life. Through this process, you're able to identify and challenge unhelpful beliefs about yourself and others. I'll work with you to tailor coping strategies to your needs and experiences.
Trauma informed care seeks to recognize the impact of trauma in your life. Trauma symptoms can unfold in many ways and areas in our lives. I have experiences working with those with PTSD and other trauma-related disorders.
Strength-based approach focuses on building your abilities, self-determination, and strengths-- often times allowing you to see your value and yourself at your best. The switch from focusing on your problems to your strengths (in any given situation or relationship) can offer you a sense of control and a new mindset.

Having Christine as a therapist has been so helpful for me the past seven months. She is someone who really listens to you and what you're facing. She really keeps an open-mind about what you're going through and works with you to help you get the most out of your therapy sessions. Christine has made me feel like the goal of being in therapy is to become a better version of myself each session in order to move forward and not stay in therapy forever.
