Are you experiencing low mood, no joy and lack of motivation, anxious thoughts, or uncontrollable worries? Are your emotions feeling distressing or overwhelming? Is your transition into motherhood not what you expected? Are you seeking support through a divorce or a separation? Do you need help navigating a significant loss, or perhaps you are seeking healing from a trauma? Or maybe you are just feeling “not quite right” and would like help figuring out what is going on and how to move into a better place? If your answer was yes to any of the above, therapy can help you.

Christine has over 10 years of therapy experience, utilizing Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and other approaches. She received her degree from New York University and is also a Board Certified Behavior Analyst. She has experience working with children, adolescents, and adults for a variety of issues. These include depression, anxiety, phobias, panic, anger, stress, insomnia, ADHD, autism, developmental delays, and work/home/school issues.

I strive to create a welcoming and supportive environment that will allow clients to comfortably explore patterns in their behavior, thoughts and relationships that may be causing pain or creating blockages. Many of us have a story that we tell ourselves that explains how we have developed into the person that we are today, but often these narratives may be inaccurate and may be preventing growth or prolonging suffering. I believe that therapy provides a non-judgmental place to interrogate these narratives and gain insight into how these beliefs might impacting our lives.

I believe that the most important relationship we develop is with our inner self. People often get caught up in repetitive patterns that may hinder their work, love, or personal relationships caused by past traumas or disconnection from oneself. This may inhibit them from being able to live a fulfilling life. The process of getting in touch with often unknown aspects of oneself enables one to lead a fuller life. Lack of such a connection with our psychological center leads in varying degrees to emotional homelessness, emptiness in one's work, and personal relationships. In my publications I explore the notion of "inner home".

It can be challenging to process all sorts of mixed emotions, as they wear you down in your personal and professional life. You may even begin to have self-doubts, struggling to move forward with your goals. The process of navigating these challenges on your own can be confusing, drowning, and overwhelming. I will work with you to build a collective space where we explore your concerns together, understand your emotions, and help you reestablish meaningful connections with others . I see therapy as interactions where you will be empowered to confront reality and appreciate yourself as a whole.

Life is full of abundant opportunities that are within your reach. However, there are times when it can feel as though you are watching the world go by from a passenger seat - perhaps you find yourself not acting in your own self-interest or are overloaded by the noise of a cluttered mind. In these moments, it can feel challenging to regain a sense of self and select the most fulfilling path forward. I invite you to co-create a space of holistic healing that fosters self-exploration, allowing you to feel more at home in your mind and body, and continue forward from a place of authenticity and empowerment.

It is easy to forget that each person is an individual in the complex world we live in. It is common for humans to struggle with their individuality, identity, and finding themselves or their life’s purpose. This struggle can leave you feeling confused, isolated, anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or lost. I view therapy as a way to connect by providing patients with a supportive, safe, non-judgemental space to explore and confront these feelings.

Navigating life’s circumstances can be complicated and challenging. Although we must find the strength to get past the roadblocks in our lives, we don’t have to do it alone. Therapy can help us get to know ourselves so that we can find new ways to respond when the pressure of modern living becomes too much. My aim as a therapist is to partner with you on a journey of self-discovery so that you can find satisfaction and thrive. I believe therapy can help us uncover subtle beliefs and patterns that shape our daily experiences. With greater awareness, we gain the tools to enact positive change and remodel relationships.

Haley provides evidence-based therapy for children, teens, and adults. She has had the opportunity to provide care in private practice, school, and medical settings. This array of experiences has fostered her ability to understand clients through a multi-disciplinary lens and draw upon a multitude of evidence-based treatments, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Behavioral Activation, Prevention-Focused Care, Crisis Intervention, Trauma-Focused CBT, and Exposure and Response Prevention. She utilizes these therapies to target anxiety, stress, depression, OCD, trauma, and executive functioning deficits.

I have a diverse background with training in child and adult therapy, nutritional counseling, life coaching, and logotherapy. I am best suited to work people experiencing anxiety and depression. Psychotherapy typically focuses on how our past experiences drive us as adults while coaching is more forward-looking, and focuses on setting goals and looking at obstacles that get in the way of reaching those goals. Logotherapy is geared toward helping people find meaning and purpose in life. Child therapy helps children become more expressive of their emotions and develop more awareness of their strengths and to apply them in life.

It's hard to stay on top of demands and responsibilities and give each part of your life the consideration it deserves. Maintaining close relationships, parenting, divorce, illness and loss can be stressful and lead to feelings of helplessness and anxiety. We can work together to discover your own story and to develop coping skills for challenges in your family and work relationships.

I am a psychologist providing therapy and assessment services for children through adults. I have extensive clinical experience and am an expert Cognitive Behavioral Therapist.

I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, depression, panic, OCD, trauma, stress, insomnia, ADHD, defiance, and work/school issues. Many of my clients lead busy lives; therefore, I offer evening appointments.

So often, we find ourselves at a crossroads in life. We are either transitioning into a new phase or are completely unhappy with where we are at. It is during these times of stress, anxiety and confusion that we have the opportunity to rise, recreate and redefine who we are and what we want our lives to look like. Redirecting your energy and reducing the amount of related stress will help you build healthy relationships, increase your confidence and improve your self-esteem.

At various points in our lives, we come across hurdles that can leave us feeling overwhelmed and discouraged. Whether you are coming to therapy due to life transitions, loss, relational issues, identity challenges, or distressing symptoms, my aim is to make you feel seen and heard as you navigate the complexities of life and work to undo patterns that are making you feel stuck. I honor the importance of the therapeutic relationship and lead with curiosity to cultivate an individualized, collaborative, and nonjudgmental space for you to engage in self-exploration.

Often, despite knowing what they "should" or "could" do to achieve personal growth, people feel stuck in similar patterns. Others feel lost or that they don't feel content. So many of life's challenges evoke painful feelings, including sadness, fear, anxiety, frustration, loneliness, and isolation. I see therapy as a space where I can help my patients understand those feelings and how they relate to their personal, familial and cultural narratives. With that in hand, patients gain freedom and confidence in how they choose to navigate the world.

Life today can create a chronic sense of overwhelm resulting from constant stimulation and expectations. It may feel difficult to keep up with the pressure to maintain productivity, composure, and a steady sense of self. The therapeutic space can serve as a place to explore these anxieties and release yourself from external pressures. Our symptoms can arise out of the conflict between what we feel we are expected to be vs. who we really are. I work with children, teens, and adults and I am dedicated to hearing my clients in way that can alleviate suffering and promote long-lasting change.
