Christine supports adults (18+).
Christine’s psychotherapy practice is supervised by Marlise Meilan, Registered Psychotherapist.
Christine is a white, queer, thin, cis-woman with lived experience of mental health struggles. Her practice is grounded in principles of inclusivity, anti-oppression, trauma-informed care, and weight inclusivity. Christine is 2SLGBTQIA+ and neurodiversity affirming.
Christine practices an integrative approach to therapy using the humanistic approach as a foundation combined with cognitive and behavioural/third-wave approaches, narrative and feminist approaches. As a dietitian, Christine uses anti-diet and weight-inclusive approaches.
When Christine isn’t actively fighting diet culture, she enjoys dancing (ballet in particular), practicing yoga/meditation, reading, painting, colouring, watching TV and movies, writing, hiking, and exploring the local food, event and art scenes!
