She/Her/Hers
Christine is a therapist in the Denver area who started her career in the work of sexual assault advocacy over 6 years ago. She has spent her time volunteering for organizations nationally and locally such as RAINN and The Blue Bench as a hotline volunteer, hospital advocate, and safe bars ambassador. Since becoming a therapist, Christine has expanded her passion for treating trauma and integrated comprehensive trauma treatment in her private practice and other organizations that she’s worked at. Currently, Christine has founded a trauma-informed private practice in Denver, CO and is serving as a Trauma Recovery Services Program Director at Jefferson Center for Mental Health where she is bringing trauma treatment into mountain region jails. When she isn’t working to end sexual violence and providing treatment to survivors, Christine enjoys watching movies, going on long walks with her husband and fur baby, arranging flowers, and spending lots of time with friends.
