Christine supports adults (18+).
Christine’s psychotherapy practice is supervised by Marlise Meilan, Registered Psychotherapist.
Christine identifies as a white, queer, neurodivergent, and straight-sized woman. Her practice is grounded in principles of inclusivity, anti-oppression, and trauma-informed care.
Christine practices an integrative approach to therapy using the humanistic approach as a foundation combined with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Narrative Therapy, Compassion Focussed Therapy (CFT) and feminist approaches. As a dietitian, Christine uses Health at Every Size (HAES), 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, gardening, hiking, and exploring the local food, event and art scenes!
