About Christine
Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Holistic therapist. Reiki Master. Depth explorer. Recovering perfectionist. Drummer. Orchid momma.
Believer in the radical power of becoming exactly who you are.
Hi, I'm Christine.
I became a therapist because I believe in people's capacity to heal. Not just to cope, but to genuinely transform. I've seen it happen. I've experienced it myself. And I've made it the center of my life's work.
I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a private practice, High Note Counseling, based in South Sarasota County, Florida. I offer telehealth therapy across Florida, Pennsylvania, and South Carolina, as well as in-person sessions locally. I also serve as an Adjunct Instructor in the MSW program at Widener University, because training the next generation of clinicians matters to me as much as showing up for the clients in my own practice.
My approach to therapy is holistic, integrative, and deeply personal. I don't believe in one-size-fits-all treatment. I believe in meeting you exactly where you are, with all your complexity, your contradictions, your wounds, and your gifts, and helping you find your way to what I call your highest note.
How I work
My clinical foundation is grounded in evidence-based practice. My modalities include Jungian Depth Psychology, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), trauma-informed care, narrative therapy, attachment theory, somatic techniques, mindfulness, and insight-oriented work.
And because I believe healing happens at every level of a person, I integrate a range of holistic and metaphysical tools alongside clinical work. Bio-energetic feedback (EVOX), energy work, tarot as a reflective tool, and archetypal astrology are all part of the toolkit I bring to this work.
I developed The High Note Method™ as a framework for integrating all of these approaches, because I wanted my clients to have a cohesive, intentional path forward, not a collection of techniques.

A little more about me
Outside of the therapy room, you'll find me tending my orchids, kayaking, or drumming, sometimes in ceremony, sometimes just because it feels good. These aren't just hobbies. They're part of how I stay connected to the things I talk to my clients about: presence, community, creative expression, and the kind of joy that doesn't need a reason.
What I believe
I believe that normal is not the goal. That the parts of you that don't fit the mold are often your greatest gifts. That healing is not linear, and neither are people. That you deserve a therapist who is as invested in your growth as you are.
I believe in radical self-acceptance. Not as a passive resignation, but as a fierce and active choice to honor exactly who you are, right now, while becoming who you're meant to be.
And I believe that with the right support, tools, and space, transformation is not just possible. It's inevitable.
