A note from Christine
Hello, I worked for 35 years with elderly in nursing homes, in the community and for Hospice. For the last 20 years I have also worked in a private practice setting with adults of all ages, specializing in trauma and health related problems. Common issues are anxiety, depression, stress and insomnia. I focus on strengths and spirituality when a client utilizes this source of support. I help people think outside of the proverbial box in methods of coping techniques. I do not specialize in substance abuse as a primary issue. I look forward to speaking with you! Always have an Attitude of Gratitude!
