My Approach
Christin is committed to helping children, adolescents, adults, and families to achieve their goals and find healing within a safe environment. Christin approaches her work as a psychotherapist with an awareness of cultural, social, economic, religious, and spiritual differences. It is her goal to assist each client in finding and expressing their greatest potential and strengths as well as working through barriers to expressing their true self, finding peace, happiness, and self-acceptance.
She encourages you to give her feedback as to how therapy is progressing for you so that she may continue to meet your needs. She works with you to determine the best path for therapy to take, including collaborating on goals, deciding how frequently to meet, and when to stop meeting (no one has to be in therapy forever).
She has worked with clients from many backgrounds and identities. As an able-bodied, cis-gender, white, middle-class woman, she is aware that she exists in a culture that privileges her experience over many who are “othered” by society. She works hard at being an ally to all who enter her office, whatever their background. She recognizes that we are currently living in challenging times given the current polarizing political climate. She works hard to see people as everyone deserves to be heard and seen for who they are.
