Who Christine Works With

Adults

Christine works with adults on OCD, from harm and relationship OCD to contamination, checking and ‘just right’ OCD. She also treats health anxiety, generalized anxiety and phobias.

Teens

She works with teens dealing with anxiety and OCD.

Clients of Color

Christine especially loves working with people of color. Finding a therapist of color can be hard, and having someone with similar experiences in the room can help.

Christine's Approach

Christine treats OCD and anxiety with Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). She’ll always meet clients where they are, and clients are active participants in the work.

She doesn’t expect perfection. A lot of the work is figuring out what went well and what didn’t, then adjusting from there. She’s professional, and she also shows up as herself: down to earth, curious, a little silly and caring.

She grew up in Oregon and Hawaii, and when she’s not in school she’s usually on an outdoorsy adventure with her 2 dogs.
