Christine’s interest in nurturing healthy relationships started long before she became a wife and mother herself. Coming from a split home with parents that had very different approaches to not only parenting, but life, provided her with a unique perspective on people.
 
After graduating from University of Central Florida in 2009, Christine moved cross-country to Los Angeles, California and started working with children with disabilities. Having a brother with a mental illness broadened her insight to the challenges as well as the innate strength and capabilities of all individuals. She had a strong sense of compassion for others with similar challenges. Her experiences providing direct parent-training and connecting with hundreds of families solidified her commitment to support others in their interpersonal growth and well-being.  
 
Christine returned to her home state of Florida where she completed a Master’s degree in Applied Behavior Analysis from Florida Institute of Technology. She spent 15 years working as a Behavior Therapist and Board Certified Behavior Analyst in various settings including family homes, schools, clinics, group homes and day programs. Furthermore, Christine has considerable knowledge in Autism and other developmental delays, the prenatal and post-partum time in family development and in gentle parenting.
 
In Christine’s personal life she has experienced many of the complex human realities. She has worked hard to process and move through them with a healthy mindset, gaining knowledge along the way. She combines her schooling in psychology and clinical practice with her life experience to utilize a whole-person approach for her clients. Her personal and professional worlds merged becoming a mother. She has a well-rounded approach to parenting and new opportunities to show up authentically in her relationships. Christine believes in focusing on the individual behind the behavior and allowing connection to be the guide in relationships. She has a deep level of empathy and understanding that she brings to all of her work helping empower individuals and families. 
 
Christine now resides in St. Petersburg, FL with her husband, two children and three fur babies. She is happiest when she is with her family, spending time outdoors. She is committed to living a less toxic lifestyle, taking overall health and wellness seriously and supporting businesses that are good for people and the environment.
