I have worked with Christine in the school setting. She is truly a wonderful therapist. She is patient, kind, compassionate and knows how to make others feel safe with their emotions. Christine is incredible at connecting with children and their parents. She puts 100% into her clients and is extremely effective at helping little ones work through their feelings. I highly recommend Christine for child-based and family centered counseling.
