She supports adults and seniors, offering a steady therapeutic presence for those seeking meaningful change and improved emotional well-being throughout California.
Christine is particularly passionate about helping people move through life transitions with clarity and resilience.

Her work integrates emotional insight with practical coping strategies so clients feel supported both in the moment and long after sessions end.
