Christine's Approach
I work with adults on a broad selection of mental health concerns including depression, anxiety, grief & loss, mood support during pregnancy and postpartum period, and stress management. My treatment approach is holistic, meaning I treat the whole person and view the mind-body connection as important to our overall well-being. After a comprehensive initial evaluation is completed, I will partner with you to develop a treatment plan that meets your individual needs. This plan may include supportive talk therapy, the use of medications, or a combination of both. In our sessions, With your permission, I would be happy to collaborate with other providers to help you meet your wellness goals.
Professional Background
Prior to returning to graduate school, I worked as a Labor & Delivery RN caring for high-risk obstetric patients and their families. During graduate school, I participated in several intensive clinical experiences including working in a large community mental health clinic treating individuals with chronic mental illness, a rotation on an eating disorder unit, as well as an internship at the Sexual Assault Resource Center in Beaverton providing crisis support and counseling for sexual assault survivors. My practice has been focused on caring for individuals with perinatal mental health concerns for over a decade. I have had the opportunity to work with a wide range of mental health issues and bring this experience to my practice.
