Our Team

Hi, I'm Christine (she/her). I’m a psychotherapist and pain coach helping others overcome chronic pain and anxiety using gentle, effective mind-body techniques like Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) and EMDR. After spending years supporting clients in overcoming their symptoms through weekly therapy and coaching sessions, I created Chronic Pain Intensives to offer this life-changing work in a more modern, immersive and flexible intensive format.

My path here was shaped largely by my own experiences with chronic pain and anxiety. By my mid-twenties, I was intimately familiar with overriding my body’s signals and needs in favor of giving everyone and everything 110%. Over time, as I continued to push against my body my body pushed back harder - leaving me increasingly anxious, exhausted and in pain. Little did I know that these signals from my body weren’t there to harm me, but rather to try to help me.

Fast forward a decade and my relationship with both my mind and body has transformed completely. Through personal exploration and years of professional training, I’ve developed a deep understanding of the mind-body connection and have learned to listen to and work with my body’s signals rather than trying to override or “fix” them. I’ve come to understand cues like pain and anxiety not as symptoms to merely manage, but as meaningful signals for support. I feel endlessly lucky to now spend my days helping others find more ease in their bodies, quiet in their minds and a deeper sense of connection to themselves.

Outside of my work, I am a mom to my anxious-but-perfect cattle dog Topa, an imperfect-but-enthusiastic ceramicist, and a hiker/kayaker/snowshoer depending on the season. A few years ago I moved from Los Angeles to a tiny town (technically, a hamlet) in the Northeast and now live among many more trees than people. Having the privilege to live in such a quiet, beautiful part of the world has been both a source of inspiration for my work and a source of peace for my own body and mind.
