I have had a few meetings with Christine so far and I just have to say that she is the best therapist I have ever had. She offers great advice and skills that no other counselor has before. She understands and tentatively listens to everything I say. I have already recommended teen counseling to some friends because of my experience so far!

Christine has been an incredible source of support and guidance in my journey to healing and growth. She has helped me work through the layers of my depression, confront the scars of my youth, and gain new perspectives on the traumas that shaped me. Christine’s empathetic approach and insightful advice have been instrumental in helping me navigate challenges like career burnout and the complexities of polyamorous relationships.

Her ability to create a safe, non-judgmental space allowed me to feel truly seen and heard, and her strategies have given me tools to cope and thrive. I’ve felt a genuine sense of progress and empowerment through our sessions, and I’m deeply grateful for her expertise and kindness. If you’re looking for a therapist who listens deeply, understands, and helps you move forward with clarity and compassion, I wholeheartedly recommend Christine.

Christine has been an absolute rock throughout my recovery journey. From our first session, she created such a warm, safe space where I felt truly seen and understood. Her approach isn’t just about the techniques; she genuinely cares and meets me exactly where I’m at.

I highly recommend Christine to anyone looking for real, compassionate support.
