Background and approach
Sessions aim to make conversations less painful and more useful for solving everyday problems. Clients can expect a collaborative style that blends skills practice with deeper work on feelings and patterns. Christine helps people identify repeated cycles, understand how past experiences affect current relationships, and test new behaviors in safe steps.
She also offers support around issues like infidelity, jealousy, separation, and non-monogamous arrangements. Her background includes a Master of Social Work from the University of Southern California and clinical work over four years with individuals and couples. Christine holds an LCSW credential in California.
She also completed a Sexual Health Certificate Program in Sex Therapy and Sex Education at the University of Michigan. Sessions are offered in English and can cover a range of concerns from trauma and abuse to money stress and sexual dysfunction. The focus is on practical change that improves closeness, trust, and daily functioning.
Approaches for connection online
Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes how early bonds shape current relationships and helps people notice patterns that lead to disconnection; it is useful for couples and individuals who want more supported emotional connection. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve communication. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on feelings in the moment and supports partners in expressing needs so they can rebuild trust and closeness.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and collaborate on which methods to try. That shared decision-making lets the plan change over time based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video lets people read tone and body language, phone calls work when video is not possible or bandwidth is low, and chat or messaging can be used for brief check-ins or when a quick session fits a busy day. These options make it easier to attend sessions from work, home, or while traveling and support consistent progress over time.
