About

Hello! My name is Christine and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who utilizes a psychodynamic and strength-based approach to explore and work through problems concerning self-esteem, anxiety, codependency, addiction, trauma, grief, adjustment difficulties, life transitions, adjustments to motherhood, and couples/relationship dynamics. I enjoy helping clients identify and develop successful tools to help clients overcome difficult life challenges and gain a sense of empowerment. I also am fully trained in EMDR therapy (evidence-based therapy used to help with the symptoms of PTSD and unresolved emotions and trauma). With a National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) certification in personal training, I decided to introduce physical activity when appropriate, be it walking, running, or any other physical movement into her clinical work to process issues stored within the body and improve mind-body connection. In 2009, I graduated from Loyola University Chicago with an MSW and a specialization in children and families.
