I believe for therapy to be effective it must contain an individualized approach. I strive for each client to feel heard in a supportive and nonjudgmental environment. I will work with you as part of your team determining next steps that will allow you to address areas and work towards progress with your individualized therapeutic goals. My main goal is for therapy to feel as if you are having a comfortable, but therapeutic discussion. Growth stems from learning how to embrace change and identify steps to move forward that support you in your own success. 

I currently only offer telehealth sessions for residents of North Carolina and Virginia. Telehealth allows clients the convivence to schedule to participate in therapy from their home or a confidential environment that easily works for their schedule. Once a telehealth session is scheduled, a client will receive a link that will connect them to the scheduled telehealth session. If there is a technical issue, please contact Christine to problem solve how to resolve the issue or utilize a backup telehealth platform.
