Cristine entered into counseling and therapy after a 12-year career in education. Beginning in private practice, she proceeded to work closely with children and families facing behavioral and mood concerns. Utilizing her experience as an educator and of quick rapport-building with children, Cristine became well respected as an individual and group therapist in the East Cobb and North Fulton areas and as a founder of Rise Therapy Center.

Ever the lover of learning, Cristine continued to develop her skills and acquired additional certifications serving children, adolescents, and adults. Using her expertise of childhood and the developmental emotional stages, Cristine quickly became a well-respected specialist in treatment-resistant clients, couples, and families. Using a basis of Internal Family Systems, Inner Child Work, and Nervous System Regulation, she specializes in mood, behavioral, and emotional incongruences based upon false beliefs, nervous system dysregulation, and subconscious programming. Cristine treats clients in group, family, or individual session settings.

Through her work with treatment-resistant clients, Cristine focused on empirically-based modalities and became a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist (CCH), a Guided Meditation Master, as well as a trained Ketamine-Assisted Therapist through Alchemy Therapy Trainings in Oakland, California. Cristine partners with local psychiatrists to offer the most effective and researched-based altered state therapies, which are quickly gaining a reputation in transforming the mental health world.

In addition to her formal professional career, Cristine authored the 3-6-9 Family Reunification Plan©, which works to apply specific goals to families of high conflict or families in current litigation. She is a respected expert witness in Cobb, Cherokee, Douglas, Fulton, Forsyth, and Dekalb counties, as well as the states of Colorado and California.
