Hello!
I am passionate about the work that I do with clients because I believe we all deserve to live our best lives and to do so, we need to find our best selves. My desire to help others achieve healing and wellness is longstanding. I am a wife and mother with a story full of beautiful and challenging life experiences that have shaped who I am today.
My background prior to working as an RCC is diverse, but all of it revolves around people! It includes Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) therapy with kids, working with higher risk youth and their families, people development, coaching, training and event management.
My work as an RCC is my passion. I am a person-centred and trauma-informed clinical counsellor who draws from various therapeutic modalities to collaboratively tailor sessions around clients’ unique strengths, needs and goals. I have experience with youth, individuals and families and believe each person has the innate potential to heal and thrive. While I am happy to come alongside clients with whatever they are navigating, some prominent areas of experience include life transitions, life-threatening illnesses, medical trauma and diagnosis, grief and loss, family dynamics, personality disorders and neurodiversity (ie. ADHD, ASD).
I look forward to meeting you! Please feel free to book a complimentary consultation. This is a great way to meet me and assess whether you feel that I am a good fit for what you are looking for. My promise to you is that if I am not, I will send you some other referrals to help you find the therapist who is! Why would I do that? Because 95% of the success in therapy is due to the therapeutic relationship between therapist and client - it is important that you find someone you trust and connect with!
Christine is awaiting her professional RCC designation. Until that comes through, Christine will continue to offer a student rate ($100/hour) as her counselling services may not be covered by extended medical plans. Once her designation is effective, we will provide 14 days notice to all current clients of the fee change to the regular counselling rate of $150/hour.
About Christine:
I believe that therapy is most effective when it’s collaborative. You bring your expertise in your own life; I bring tools, curiosity, and compassion. Together, we’ll explore the patterns, strengths, and challenges that shape your experience—and discover what healing and growth can look like for you.
I’m a wife and mother to four wonderfully neurodivergent children. Our family includes a mix of autism, ADHD, Down syndrome, OCD, anxiety, and giftedness. My personal journey has been deeply shaped by grief, resilience, and learning to embrace complexity. These lived experiences inform my work and help me hold space for the full range of human emotion and identity.
My approach to therapy is strength-based, trauma-informed, and grounded in mindfulness and self-compassion. I believe that every part of us—our thoughts, emotions, and even our defenses—has something important to say. When we slow down and listen, we can begin to heal, shift old patterns, and move toward a more values-aligned life.
I work with individuals and families navigating a wide range of concerns, including grief and loss, family dynamics and parenting, neurodivergence (autism, ADHD, etc.), foster/adoptive family experiences, chronic illness, end-of-life transitions, childhood trauma and developmental wounds.
Therapy is an investment of time, energy, and heart. If you’re curious about working together, I invite you to reach out for a free consultation.
