My nature is calm and easygoing, and I'll bring my authentic self to OCD therapy so you can get help for even your darkest and most intrusive fears. I want to provide you with tools so Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) becomes a natural part of your lifestyle. I will hold you accountable with compassion and understanding — and without pressure. Therapy is hard work, but it's worth every ounce of the effort you put into helping yourself. My other areas of focus include PTSD, trauma adversity, depression, anxiety, grief, eating disorders, and multicultural relationships.

Why our members love working with Christine
S.L.
Christine is an incredible therapist. She’s given me the space to talk through what I need and provides insight and support to help me break my OCD cycle and keep perspective in a functional and sustainable way. I’ve improved so much and can feel the consistent change in my day to day life. She has helped me to build the tools to work through tough moments and to keep my OCD events moderate. I can recognize my own thought patterns and keep myself out of the OCD spiral by using what I’ve learned in session. I’m so grateful to have Christine’s support as I navigate through growth and change in my life. She’s helped me to overcome so much.
