Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in New Jersey. I have a doctoral degree from the University of Pennsylvania and have been practicing for several years. I am a dedicated and compassionate mental health therapist who is committed to promoting mental wellness and emotional resilience. I work with my clients to develop a personalized treatment plan so they can reach their goals successfully.
In the first session, we will spend time covering the basics (verifying all information on file is correct), followed by a conversation surrounding the issue you are experiencing, so that problem-solving can start quickly to get you on your way to healing.
My strengths include helping others through dedication, compassion, respect, and a desire to help my clients achieve the agreed upon goals.
In my practice, I help adults experiencing issues such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, stress, substance abuse, domestic violence, and sexual abuse. I emphasize a cognitive-behavioral approach and help my clients connect their thoughts, actions and behaviors so they can develop the coping skills to live a happy and healthy life.

Really liked how blunt and to the point Christine was. Attentive, intelligent, brutally honest, yet still left us with hope for our marriage. Looking forward to our next meeting. -John F Christine's s style was exactly what we need. She is very to the point, no wasting time, and equally fair to each person.
