Christine earned her B.S. in Elementary Education from DePaul University, her M.Ed. in Special Education from National Louis University and her MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a Certificate of Graduate Studies in Trauma from Regent University.  In addition, Christine is an EMDR trained clinician.

Christine has a breadth of clinical experience working with both individuals and groups.  Prior to coming to The Arlington Center, she worked at a therapeutic day school for children and adolescents struggling with emotional and behavioral disorders.  Christine also worked at a residential treatment center for adolescent girls and adult women struggling with complex trauma, PTSD, dissociative disorders, self-injury, eating disorders, depression, and anxiety.  Having served overseas as a missionary herself, Christine is also passionate about working with missionaries, third culture kids (TCKs) and expats looking for a therapist who understands firsthand the joys and challenges of cross-cultural living.

Christine brings a warm, genuine and empathic approach to her work with clients and firmly believes that there is nothing – no hurt, no brokenness, no story – that is beyond what can be healed, restored, and redeemed.  Above all, Christine wants to partner with her clients so that they feel heard, supported, and empowered in a safe space where they can be their authentic selves.
