Accepting Adult Clients
Christine approaches her work as a therapist and advocate with warmth and curiosity. She utilizes talk therapy approaches while integrating creative and non-verbal techniques including play, art, and movement. She believes that the therapeutic process is most successful when each client is supported as the expert in their experience and their unique learning process. Christine is especially attuned to working with children and their caregivers. She acts as a collaborative guide and partner with parents to build confidence in supporting their child’s mental health needs and their own, while also fostering family connection. Christine seeks out opportunities to make and experience art, bake, go outside, and listen to live music as regenerative practices.

“As we age, we often have less and less time for self-exploration and play. These activities are at the heart of my approach because throughout life they continue to be restorative and protective for our mental health.”

This picture is something that matters to me

I love how Liana Finck’s artwork beautifully and relatably captures how our feelings can seemingly embody physical space in our experience of the world. What would happen if we could change the ‘should’ in our experience? What would we discover??
