“Christine is a gem. She is so knowledgeable, empathetic, and encouraging, while also asking thought provoking questions to help you better understand your own thinking and mindset. If you want a therapist that is extremely attentive, qualified, and challenging in all the right ways, she’s a perfect fit. It’s highly evident that she genuinely cares about her patients and she is an amazing listener with high attention to detail who will help you connect the right dots and work to where you want to be. Looking forward to continuing sessions with her.”
