nothing prepares you for the moment things change in a way that can’t be undone.

Certain events divide life into “before” and “after.”

A diagnosis. A loss. A shift that alters the course of everything that follows… fracturing the familiar structure of your days and leaves you standing in a life that no longer resembles the one you knew.

Suddenly, everything feels different.

You may find yourself confronting questions that don’t have simple answers.

Questions about identity, meaning, mortality, and how to live inside a reality you did not choose.

And in the long, quiet hours, the thoughts you rarely say out loud rise to the surface:

how do I make sense of what’s happening?

what does life look like from here?

why does this experience feel so isolating, even when people try to help? 

you’re not looking for clichés, forced optimism, or reassurance that glosses over truth.

You’re looking for a place where reality can be acknowledged without fear—a space grounded in clarity and depth—where you can explore these questions honestly and begin to orient yourself within all that has changed.

I’m Christine.

I believe that there are no quick fixes for the hardest parts of being human.

When life is altered by illness, grief, aging, or the reality of mortality, therapy isn’t about techniques or solutions—it’s about having a place to think, feel, and make sense of what you’re living through.


Grounded in both professional training and lived experience, my work centers on the belief that meaning, steadiness, and orientation emerge through a thoughtful therapeutic relationship—one that can hold uncertainty and difficult truths without rushing you toward answers.

areas of specialization

cancer

Cancer changes more than your health—it reshapes your sense of safety, identity, and future. I work with adults and seniors navigating a cancer diagnosis, treatment, survivorship, or recurrence, offering a place to process uncertainty, fear, and the lasting emotional impact of illness.

grief & loss

Grief can be disorienting, isolating, and difficult to put into words—especially when life expects you to keep moving forward. I support individuals coping with the loss of loved ones, anticipated loss, and the many forms grief can take over time.

aging

Aging often brings complex emotional shifts—changes in health, roles, relationships, and independence. I work with older adults facing transitions related to aging, helping them make sense of loss, uncertainty, and identity as life evolves.

end of life

Facing mortality—your own or someone else’s—can raise profound questions about meaning, fear, and what matters most. I provide thoughtful support for individuals confronting end of life concerns, allowing room to explore these realities with honesty and depth.

getting started

Reaching out can feel like a big step, but this is designed to be straightforward and respectful of what you’re already carrying.

Schedule a free consultation. We’ll begin with a brief phone consultation to talk about what you’re facing, what feels most pressing right now, and whether working together feels like a good fit.

Consider next steps together. If it feels right to move forward, we’ll talk through scheduling and what therapy might look like for you. If not, i’ll help you think through other avenues of support.

If we decide to work together, therapy moves at a pace that reflects the complexity of your experience.

Therapy isn’t about fixing what can’t be fixed—it’s about having support as you learn how to live alongside what has changed—without rushing the process.
