More about Christine
- 13 years' experience
- Female
- LMFT
My goal is to help people find meaning and purpose in life, find common pathways between actions and thoughts and create a safe place to find positive solutions. Empathy, compassion and understanding help me to take a relational, non-judgmental approach to my work. I provide direct, simple and straight forward techniques of communicating that are instrumental in helping people stay grounded, focused and validated. I prefer to individualize treatment for each client by choosing the specific type of theory or therapy that meets individual, relational or family needs that target the desired outcome of therapy.
