About Christine

I work with adults who are carrying things that feel too heavy and too complicated to explain: trauma, grief, life that didn't go the way it was supposed to, a sense of being stuck in patterns you can't think your way out of. My approach is warm, integrative, and grounded in modalities that work — including EMDR and IFS-informed parts work. I came to this field after a long career in forensic science, which means I take evidence seriously. I don't offer false hope. But I do believe that people can change, that the nervous system can heal, and that the right therapeutic relationship makes an enormous difference. KAP is one of the tools I offer for people who have tried other paths and found them insufficient. When it's the right fit, it can move things that have felt immovable. I offer a sliding scale fee and work with adults 18 and older.
