"Life is a journey, not a destination" - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Welcome!

My name is Christine and I am a Registered Psychotherapist practicing in London, Ontario.

I have a special interest in working with trauma where we use an integrated "Trauma-Informed CBT" approach to help you learn to regulate your emotions, explore your narrative, identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, reduce avoidance, face your fears through exposure interventions, and reconnect with others. If you are willing, we will go into those dark places together to sort out the jumble of overwhelming thoughts and feelings that you may be experiencing. Your therapy will be primarily led by you with some guided structure from me. I place a strong value on educating my clients on the science and research related to their experiences, as well as using worksheets and practical application strategies. The goal is to help you increase self-awareness and understanding, gain confidence, and reduce the effects of your past.

I am also experienced in working with suicidal ideation, self-harm, anxiety, depression, grief, ADHD, and single parenting - with all ages from teens to adults to seniors. Being a teenager and adulting in today's society is NOT easy, and then the senior years bring about a whole platter of additional difficulties that often go unacknowledged. Single parenting is an entirely separate feat of it's own - balancing your own needs with the demands of raising children can feel overwhelming. If you are a single parent, you may be struggling to navigate co-parenting, grief, the court system, conflict, holding on through hope/anger, financial strain, time management, loneliness, parenting guilt, dating concerns, and more.

I am committed to going at your own pace and being there for you through all the difficulties.
