Christine Jensen
Through authentic connections, we can together discover what it means to live fully, thoroughly, and well in an environment of care and respect. Conversations begin in an environment in which clients can feel safe, heard, and free to be themselves. Utilizing various therapies, clients can explore their awareness of themselves in the present, their emotional experiences, their discomfort, how they choose to be themselves, and how to take responsibility for their lives in ways that help them feel empowered and free. I am an ally and advocate of the LGBTQIA+ community.
