Hi, I’m Christine…

(She/Her)

I am licensed to practice in both Texas and Minnesota. I can see clients virtually in Minnesota and Texas, and can also see private pay clients in person in Texas. I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Masters of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy from St. Cloud State University.

I am certified as a Prepare/Enrich premarital and marital counseling provider with experience working with couples and individuals in the LGBTQ+ community, including those in the polyamorous/non-monogamous, non-binary, and asexual communities.

I believe strongly in helping each person find their laughter and spirit, using evidence-based, compassionate care. My work focuses on teenagers, adults, and couples where I utilize EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), attachment-based, somatic, narrative, and experiential therapies in a way that is tailored to meet the needs of each client and situation. I am experienced in doing EMDR virtually, so even if you are a telehealth client, we can effectively use EMDR as part of your therapy.

A session with me involves a lot of humor, compassion, and honesty

My specialties include working with relational/marital concerns, PTSD, depression, anxiety, attachment issues, men’s issues, career and professional development, life transitions, and peer/school relationships. I am passionate about meeting people where they are at, whatever the situation or background. A session with me involves a lot of humor, compassion, and honesty. I work to create a safe environment for individuals and couples to feel comfortable being vulnerable and facing themselves honestly is the key to successful change. We are all human and I strive to utilize the imperfections inherent in human nature to build relationships and model growth with my clients.

There is great power in relationships and secure attachments, so I work hard to create a mutually secure and trusting bond with all my clients to support their growth. Together we will develop a plan to help you get where you want to be, working together to identify strengths and growth areas.
