​
As a Pastoral Counselor, Christine loves to walk with her clients to gain peace and freedom in every area of their lives and to help them see ALL that Jesus has provided for them in the finished work of the Cross. Christine is also a Certified Temperament Counselor. She provides her clients the opportunity to take an assessment that helps them identify what temperament blend they have. She loves helping her clients understand how they were formed in their mother's womb pertaining to how they think and process information, their social needs, their control needs, and their affection needs. Through temperament testing her clients are given a report which is a "snapshot" of the complex creation that they truly are. The report that the assessment produces is "eye-opening" to the client as it tends to answer many questions for the client as to why they feel a certain way and in general how they approach life and relationships. Christine believes that this information is a great "springboard" into the counseling relationship. She offers pastoral counseling to adults, teens, and children.
