At Willow Haven Counseling Services, compassion is more than a value—it’s how healing begins.
This is a haven to slow down, rediscover balance, and nurture the parts of you ready to grow.

At Willow Haven Counseling, you are welcomed into a space of empathy and understanding.
I’m Christine, a counselor devoted to helping women, moms, and young women find balance and peace through life’s changing seasons.
At this time, I have limited availability for new clients, and scheduling flexibility is minimal. I am intentional about maintaining a manageable caseload so that every woman I work with receives the time, care, and support she deserves.
If you are interested in working together, I invite you to complete my Client Inquiry Form. This allows me to learn more about what you're seeking support for, your insurance plan (if applicable), and your scheduling availability so I can determine whether we may be a good fit.
Please note that I currently offer appointments during weekday business hours only. At this time, I do not have weekend or late afternoon/evening appointments available.
If I am unable to accommodate your scheduling needs or if no openings are currently available, you are welcome to join my waitlist and I will reach out as appointments become available.
Thank you for considering Willow Haven Counseling Services. It is a privilege to be considered as part of your journey, and I look forward to the opportunity to connect with you.
Why Willow Haven Counseling Services?
The name Willow Haven Counseling Services reflects both my heart and my approach to counseling. The willow tree symbolizes resilience, grace, and the ability to bend without breaking—much like the strength we develop through life’s challenges. It reminds us that growth often happens in the moments we learn to be gentle with ourselves. The word haven represents safety and rest—a peaceful space to breathe, heal, and be fully seen.
Together, Willow Haven captures the essence of what I hope to offer each client: a supportive place to find stability, rediscover inner strength, and grow through life’s changing seasons.
