Welcome!

After graduating, I accepted a position as a therapist at a Sacramento County agency specializing in domestic violence, sexual assault, and trafficking. I worked with both children and adults, led a domestic violence group, and served as a designated children's therapist at the safe house, where I also facilitated a parenting group. My passion for this work remains strong, but I later transitioned to focus on mental health in an academic setting.

I became an in-school therapist at a TK-2nd grade elementary school near Davis, CA, where I developed a mental health program to support young children and educators. During the pandemic, I adapted to virtual therapy, supporting students, staff, and families through coping skills, lessons, and toolkits. When students returned to in-person learning, I created a wellness room to better support them during this difficult time (it was named Christine’s Corner on my last day). When my partner’s employment led us to another part of the country, I shifted to virtual therapy, joining a tech startup to work with children and adolescents on issues like anxiety, depression, ADHD, and OCD.

I now run my own private practice in which I serve clients aged six and up. Recently, I completed a 36-hour comprehensive training in ADHD, which complements my trauma-focused work, as these areas often intersect. However, I am passionate about working with clients experiencing various mental health challenges.
