She brings 27 years of experience in mental health work in New Hampshire. Christine emphasizes practical steps and steady support for those trying to make changes in their lives.

Background and approach
Christine aims to make emotional concerns easier to manage so daily life feels more manageable.

Her experience covers a broad range of stressors, including caregiver strain, chronic illness, body image, and job- or career-related pressures. In conversations she helps people sort priorities and try small changes that add up over time. She frames progress as practical problem solving and skill building, not quick fixes.

Approaches and online care that fit your life
Christine uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and emotional processing. One approach centers on building coping skills for anxiety and stress through step-by-step strategies that help reduce overwhelm and improve daily routines. Another common focus is trauma-informed work that helps people process difficult events and regain a sense of safety and control in everyday life. These approaches are described in straightforward terms so clients know what to expect and can try tools between sessions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and day-to-day demands, and then suggest strategies to try together. Treatment plans are revisited as needed so the work stays relevant and useful for the client’s changing needs.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video lets people use visual cues and shared worksheets. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging allow shorter check-ins, ongoing reflections between meetings, and written notes clients can review later. These options make it easier to keep therapy going alongside parenting and other responsibilities.
