My Approach

How Functional Medicine and Nutrition Restore Mental Health and Heal the Gut-Brain Axis

How We Connect the Dots to Optimal Wellness

1

Determine Root Cause

Traditional therapy often focuses on symptoms but ignores root cause. Only treating symptoms can cause a lifetime of recurring issues. Instead, we dig deep to unearth the source of anxiety, stress, trauma, and complex ptsd to create lasting healing.

You are unique. No one experiences life exactly the way you do -- not even your siblings. I formulate a personalized plan tailored specifically to your individual needs based upon your genetics, history, antecedents, triggers, and mediators.

Restore Optimal Wellness

Traditional therapy focuses on mental health only. I take a different approach. I believe the mind + body are one. What occurs in the mind affects the body and vice versa. To restore wellness, you must treat both mind + body.

I personally know the frustration of being dismissed by some healthcare professionals, who look at you like you're crazy as you explain your experiences and symptoms.

In fact, it's what led me to become a functional medicine psychotherapist.

Prior to becoming a therapist, I enjoyed a long career at Fortune 100 tech companies,

where I gained experience solving complex, technological system issues.

One day, after years of suffering from agonizing physical and mental health issues, I put my systems knowledge to use on my own health. I quickly figured out the root cause of my issues. I was relieved of all of my symptoms because I addressed the root cause.

Shocked at the lack of root cause analysis in traditional mental health and physical healthcare, I searched for alternative treatments and found a home in functional medicine.

Since then, it's been my mission to empower women to change their lives.

I'm passionate about listening to women who feel ignored.

I'm obsessed with discovering the root cause of women's symptoms and

collaborating with women, who are the most knowledgeable sources on their own bodies,

to achieve optimal wellness.

I'm uniquely astute at untangling the complex web of physical and mental health issues, and a compassionate partner for women who want a holistic, life-changing approach to health.

I recognize that each person's health journey is unique, and that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to mental health. That's why I work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that is tailored to your specific needs, preferences, and goals.

By taking a personalized approach, I help you achieve optimal wellness in a way that works best for you, at a pace that feels right to you.

My priority is you. I take the time to learn about your unique history, your personal timeline, and your individual experiences to deeply understand your challenges and struggles.

In addition to utilizing functional medicine tools and techniques, I also integrate a variety of psychotherapeutic techniques and theories to customize the fit for each individual client.

For instance, I often combine various aspects of person-centered, gestalt, humanistic, existential, cognitive-behavioral (CBT), solution-focused, mindfulness-based, and narrative therapies

in order to meet the specific needs of each client.

I hear you, and I believe our success together reflects that.

My approach differs from traditional talk therapy. I believe the mind and body are connected.

I believe symptoms are clues and cues to deeper issues.

If we listen well, we can

hear beyond the symptoms -- to the root.

The root begs for attention. The root begs for solutions. The root begs for intervention.

You cannot address the root by only treating the mind.

The root speaks its own language:

anxiety, worry, fear, doubt, insecurity, chronic pain, upset stomach, weight gain, and brain fog

to name a few.

To restore optimal wellness, which I believe is the right of every woman,

we must listen to the wisdom of the body and the mind. 

Testimonials

Alexis, Dallas

"Christine's holistic therapy is exactly what I needed. I saw several doctors who rolled their eyes at my symptoms. My previous therapists were great but couldn't help me. I had no idea most of my anxiety was caused by a leaky gut. Christine figured it out. I've never felt better."
