“Finding the right therapist is like finding a good pair of shoes; you have to try them on to see if it’s comfortable. If you’re not comfortable, you can’t walk where you need to go.”
Christine is the co-founder and executive director of Grazia. She also serves as the board president.
She was born and raised in Southern California, and moved to Charlottesville with her family in 2014. She received her Bachelors and Masters in Psychology from California State Polytechnic University, Pomona. She is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in both California and Virginia, though only practices in Virginia currently.
Christine has loved horses since she was a little girl. She grew up riding, and that was a lot of fun, but the connections formed between self and horse was always what she looked forward to the most. She was the one who was just as happy to sit in the stall and read while a horse stood nearby as she was to be in the saddle.
Outside of her work with Grazia Foundation, Christine is also the owner of Skyline Family Therapy. When Christine is not working, she enjoys spending time with her family, horseback riding, and traveling. She has a fascination with dandelions, loves all animals, and thinks hot air balloons floating through the sky are particularly stunning. She is constantly trying to drink more water, eat healthier, and exercise more, but also recognizes life is made beautiful through its perfect imperfections.
