About Christine
Christine approaches sessions with respect for each person's story and strengths. She helps people deal with stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, grief, and anger. She also supports those working through relationship concerns, intimacy issues, self-esteem and career transitions.
Her background includes a mix of evidence-informed methods that guide hands-on therapy rather than labels. She uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful patterns and from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and build meaningful action. Emotionally-Focused and client-centered ideas shape how she listens and responds in the room.
In sessions Christine focuses on what a person can do differently in daily life. That may mean practicing coping skills, reframing stressful thoughts, or trying behavioral experiments between meetings. She also works with people facing trauma, grief, ADHD challenges, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and concerns linked to adoption and attachment.
Starting is straightforward: choose the Start Therapy button, fill a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to availability. Christine works in English and does not take international clients.

Approaches you can work with online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and for moving forward when life feels stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that make problems worse and then trying practical experiments to change them. CBT is often used for anxiety, anger, and sleeping or eating concerns. Emotionally-Focused ideas guide how feelings are attended to in sessions and can help when relationship patterns or attachment issues cause distress.Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will listen to current needs, discuss goals, and together decide which methods to try first. Plans can change as progress or new priorities appear, and Christine works collaboratively to match tools to each person's situation.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking.

Many people find online sessions helpful for practicing skills between meetings and for keeping momentum during life transitions.
