She focuses on communication, sexual concerns, and the patterns that create distance between partners.

Christine blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that keep problems stuck. Sessions often include concrete exercises for communication, steps to rebuild trust after affairs, and tools to address sexual function and desire. She also works with people navigating non-monogamy, kink and BDSM topics, and stressors like cancer or financial strain that affect intimacy.

The work is conversational and action-oriented, with homework and skills people can use between sessions. Christine completed a Master of Social Work at the University of Southern California and earned a Sexual Health Certificate in Sex Therapy and Sex Education from the University of Michigan in 2024.

Online support

How online approaches support relationship and intimacy work

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on the emotions that drive how people react in close relationships. It helps people identify what they are feeling and how those feelings shape interactions, which is useful for rebuilding connection after conflict.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonding patterns shape expectations and safety in adult relationships. This approach helps people see longstanding patterns and try new ways of asking for support and closeness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person or partner to choose strategies that match their goals, comfort, and pace. That might mean blending emotion-focused work with CBT tools or Gottman-informed communication exercises.

Online therapy makes these approaches more accessible through flexible formats. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and in-session exercises. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a quieter setup is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging provide brief check-ins, written reflections, or follow-up between sessions to reinforce skills and keep momentum going.
