Hello and Welcome! I am glad you are here. I understand that coming to the decision to start therapy can be a challenging one and can come with lots of emotion. It also comes from a desire to have a happier, healthier life. Since graduating from Simmons College School of Social Work in 2006, I have worked in various healthcare settings as a social worker. In my work in community health, hospice, VNA/home care as well as in care delivery within a health plan, I have always been drawn to alternative and holistic ways to heal the mind, body and spirit for myself and my clients. With a particular interest in mindfulness, meditation and stress reduction techniques, I have a passion for working with people to find their happiest, healthiest and most authentic self. I truly pride myself in being open-minded, authentic and approachable. I feel truly honored to be doing this work and feel great responsibility in being entrusted to provide a safe, open place for people to heal, grow and to work towards being their most contented selves. I am a certified professional organizer as well as trained in Reiki Level II, Yoga Nidra and am trained in Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT). I look forward to speaking with you!

Christel has truly helped me change my life around! She is extremely attentive and kind and I can tell she is really listening and cares about what I am saying. She has helped me through my anxiety and depression and equipped me with tools so I can now handle it on my own. Can’t say enough good things, thank you!

Christel provided great support over the course of our time together. She is an empathetic listener and provides thoughtful, considerate support. Over the time we worked together, I felt heard and respected.

Christel is a skilled and kind counselor. She has helped implement small habit and mindset changes to help me feel better emotionally and physically. She’s helped move out of feeling “stuck” and achieve some of my goals.

Christel was one of the best therapists I have ever worked with. She is truly attentive and you can tell she really cares about what you’re saying and trying to help you. Unlike others that I have worked with, she remembers conversations we have had in the past and pulls from them to make better connections and drive results. Thank you Christel!

I have had probably ten counselors in-person in the past, and never felt completely heard or understood or challenged in the right way. It took the world changing for me to consider online therapy, and I’m SO GLAD I did! I absolutely love Christel. She has helped me through a very challenging time and provided me with so many tools to be able to take care of myself, so I find myself looking forward to our video chats. I have seen more improvement in the past 6 months with Christel than I did in years with counselors in the past, and she is so kind and understanding and intelligent that she is very easy to talk to. 10/10 would recommend!
