Hi, I'm Christine.
I work with adults and parents who are navigating change—whether that means raising a family, shifting relationships, questioning old patterns, moving through a new stage of life, or simply realizing that what used to work isn't working anymore.
Therapy with me is warm, practical, collaborative, and sometimes a little unconventional. We might meet in the office, or we might take therapy outside through movement-based Run-Walk-Talk sessions. Either way, my goal is to create a space where you can slow down, get curious about what's happening, and figure out what you want the next chapter to look like.

About Me
I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor with more than 15 years of experience helping people navigate change, relationships, parenting, substance use, and the complicated transitions that happen throughout adulthood.
Over the years, I've become especially interested in the seasons of life that can leave us wondering, Who am I now? Becoming a parent, raising children, changing relationships, career transitions, pregnancy and postpartum, perimenopause and menopause, recovery, and simply reaching a point where life looks different than we expected can all challenge the ways we've learned to cope.
My work isn't limited to one diagnosis or one type of client. I work with both men and women and have a particular interest in supporting adults and parents through life transitions, parenting challenges, relationships, women's mental health, and changing patterns that no longer feel helpful.
I also bring extensive experience in substance use and addiction to my work. You don't have to identify as having an addiction—or even know whether your substance use is a problem—to talk about it in therapy. Sometimes the question is simply, Is this still working for me? I also work with parents who are concerned about a teen's substance use and want support navigating those conversations.
A little more about me
I'm also a boy mom, and my own path to parenthood included going through IVF. Those experiences have given me a personal appreciation for how complicated family-building and parenting can be—the joy and love, but also the uncertainty, identity shifts, expectations, and moments when things look very different from what you imagined.
Outside of the therapy room, I'm happiest when I'm moving or outside. I love running, walking, camping, spending time in nature, and finding really good food along the way. Movement has always been an important part of how I take care of myself and process the world, which is one of the reasons incorporating movement into my clinical work through Run-Walk-Talk therapy feels like such a natural extension of who I am as a therapist.
I believe therapy doesn't always have to happen sitting across from one another in an office. Sometimes walking side-by-side, being outdoors, or simply approaching things differently can help us access conversations and insights that are harder to reach when we're sitting still.
Above all, I want therapy to feel human. We'll make room for the difficult things, but also for humor, curiosity, movement, connection, and figuring out what comes next.
