We all hit moments in life where we think, “Okay… is this the part where I Google how to get my life together?” Whether you’re facing a major life transition, grieving a loss, burned out from juggling too much, or just feeling a little disconnected from who you are, you’re not alone. And you don’t have to figure it all out alone, either.

My name is Christine (she/her). I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and the facilitator of Sanare’s morning virtual Core Turning Point group for adults. I also wear a second hat as Sanare’s Onboarding Coordinator, where I help new therapists feel confident and prepared as they join our fantastic team.

In group therapy, I bring a down-to-earth, relational approach that blends evidence-based techniques with just the right amount of humor. Think less stand-up comic, more “therapy with a human touch”. In my group, you’ll learn tools that actually help, including nervous system regulation through somatic exercises, how to challenge those relentless inner critics, the magic of mindfulness, and how to reconnect with what really gives your life meaning. I also love to connect with clients about their favorite hobbies, music, books, dad-jokes, etc. I believe mental health work should be taken seriously, but that doesn't mean we can’t laugh at ourselves along the way.

Group therapy can feel intimidating at first. But once you’re in it, something powerful happens: you realize you’re not the only one feeling the way you do. You get to take off the “I’m fine” mask and connect honestly with others who get it. My goal is to help you move from just surviving your days… to actually enjoying them again. I’m so glad you’re here. It is time to put yourself first. Let’s get started!
