Meet the Founder
Hello, I’m Christine, and I’m so glad you’re here.
I am a Registered Social Worker (MSW) and psychotherapist providing holistic, trauma-informed care. My practice is deeply rooted in Internal Family Systems (IFS), an approach that helps us gently understand the parts of ourselves that show up as anxiety, self-doubt, or overwhelm. Rather than trying to fix or push these experiences away, we take time to understand how they’ve been trying to protect you—allowing them to feel a little less heavy and a little easier to hold.
Right now, you may be feeling stuck, doubting yourself, or wondering how you’ll cope with it all. Whatever brings you here, know thatyou are the expert in your own story, and we can start right where you are. I recognize how much courage it takes to reach out for support, and my hope is to offer a space where you feel genuinely seen, heard, and supported as you move toward a greater sense of ease and wholeness.
“I wish I could show you when you are lonely or in darkness, the astonishing light of your own being.”
—HAFEZA Little More About Me
Before becoming a psychotherapist, I worked as a musical theatre performer across Canada and abroad! That background deepened my appreciation for expression, presence, and the power of connecting to our inner voice—all of which continue to inform my clinical work today.
Because of my roots in the arts, I’m deeply passionate about mental health support in creative communities. I sit on the Steering Committee for the Behind the Scenes Charity, helping create mental health resources for the Canadian and U.S. entertainment industries, and I'm a member of Entertaining Health, promoting wellness for entertainment professionals internationally.
I’m a lifelong learner at heart, so when I'm not with clients, you can usually find me reading, listening to podcasts, or participating in IFS practice triads and peer consultation groups to continually deepen my practice.
