Nice To Meet You
ABOUT ME
Hi! I'm Christine and I am a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO).
Many years ago, a therapist helped me through my own battle with mental health and since then, I have been determined to help others in the same way. This is when my journey to become a therapist began!
My education includes a Bachelor of Science (specialization in biology) from Western University and a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University. I also have training in ASIST (Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training).
I have been practicing psychotherapy for 4+ years now and I have experience working with various populations, including preteens, teens, and adults.
In my spare time, you can usually find me outdoors as I love all things that involve nature. My favourite activities include hiking, running, snowshoeing, camping, arts and crafts, and watching Netflix.

My Approach To Therapy
My theoretical orientation consists of an integrated Trauma-Informed approach with a foundation in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and strengths-based. All my work is client-centered, meaning that you will be involved in your own care while creating a treatment program tailored to your needs.
