Hi. I'm Christine. Over-stressed and demoralized these days? Are familiar activities and places that you found soothing suddenly not offering relief from anxiety and depression? There is no failure or shame in revamping your coping skills, finding inspiration in new narratives, and challenging old beliefs that keep you from embracing the many versions (discovered and undiscovered) of you! Are you caught in the comparison trap? Spiraling in a bad algorithm? I will help you find meaningful connection, improve relationship skills, and teach emotional regulation strategies. Life transitions can be tricky too, and it can be helpful to talk though periods of loss and change. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a background in journalism, gardening, and photography. I am passionate about creating habitats for local wildlife and believe one's relationship with the natural world is impactful to their level of overall wellness. I enjoy tapping people into various modes of expression, and I'm drawn to helping people live their most authentic lives.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Your first session includes verbally reviewing the informed consent and practice policies, the completion of a clinical in-take to inform the creation of counseling goals, and clear communication about the counseling process. The goal is to establish good rapport and an understanding about each of our roles in your mental health counseling.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
Healing life’s wounds stirs emotions, but I am good at helping clients feel comfortable in session. I do my part to create a therapeutic alliance where it’s okay to joke and speak frankly. I consider the multiple demographics in which you fall, but I recognize you gain from using an individual and collective perspective as needed. I resonate well with clients, love diving into research on my clients’ particular needs, and seek feedback from clients regularly. I fully recognize being a vocal advocate for social justice issues as well as striving for an ever-expanding awareness takes intentional effort. I relish learning ways to better assist my clients.
Integrative
I am theoretically and technically integrative as a counselor. This allows me to help clients conceptualize their own symptom expression from multiple perspectives. I am able to assist clients as they grab hold of new empowering beliefs and release others that have held them back. This integration also means that my treatment plans are individualized to take into account details like sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, culture, age, socio-economic status, education, and co-occuring medical conditions and the intersectionality created when client histories include varied forms of trauma.

seemed comfortable enough to talk to, well-versed in her field and seems to be a good person to bounce ideas off of. unsure if I will go back to her, but only because we may not be the best fit together, not any other reasons

First session and Christine is already finding patterns and potential solutions that I haven't ever considered. She listened intently, thought deeply, and challenged me. I am excited to see how much we can work on together.
