LPC – Licensed Professional Counselor
MS – Master of Science
As a therapist, Christine believes that deep within an individual lies the potential to live a fulfilled, authentic life. However, through the unconscious reinforcement of maladaptive beliefs from childhood, along with the rigors and challenges of everyday life, these latent qualities lie dormant waiting to manifest. Utilizing an integrative psychotherapeutic approach, Christine works to identify and dismantle unhealthy defenses to achieve sustainable self-awareness, emotional regulation and inner-harmony.
Christine also specializes in helping individuals who have experienced emotionally complex relationships where relational stress has created loss of vitality, emotional disconnection and self-abandonment. From the research and understanding that relationships are what make for a fulfilling life, her practice works to remove the barriers to love and fortify healthy relational abilities. Once supplanted, these skills can offer lasting meaning and targeted purpose in relationships and the broader scope of life.
Her therapeutic approach employs theory and research from Internal Family Systems, Deconstructing Anxiety, Emotion Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and psychoneuroimmunology and, when integrated, offers tailored treatment for adolescents, adults, and couples. Her practice can assist clients who experience anxiety, depression, relationship/marital conflict, addiction, personality disorders, and/or existential inquiry and purpose.
Christine believes that healing occurs at the intersection of insight, compassion and nervous system regulation. Integrating emotional awareness with embodied safety, clients are guided to psychological equanimity and balance through the process of deep psychotherapy. She offers a supportive environment where empathy and understanding are paramount, and paces treatment on each client’s unique need to help them discover true emotional freedom.
She is a licensed and board certified professional counselor who holds honors degrees in psychology, education, school and mental health counseling from both Rutgers University and the University of Pennsylvania.
