Many parents carry a quiet ache about their relationship with an adult child. There may be distance, tension, infrequent contact, or conversations that feel strained and guarded. Many parents wonder what went wrong, whether it is too late, or how to repair something that feels fragile or broken.

If this is you, I want to start with reassurance. Wanting to repair the relationship already matters. Repair is possible at many stages of life, even when patterns have been entrenched for years. It rarely requires perfection. It does require patience, humility, and emotional courage.

Meet our new addition to the LifeCatalyst team! Christine helps clients traverse life’s struggles by offering a safe, non-judgmental environment to process their experiences, enhance self-awareness, and work towards meaningful change. Her approach to therapy is person-centered and holistic; encompassing the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual realms.

Christine believes that all people are the experts of their own lives and that her role is to accompany clients on their personal journey's inward. She integrates a number of therapeutic approaches and modalities into her practice and adjusts to what is best fit for each client. These techniques include practices from Motivational Interviewing (MI), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Play Therapy, Existential Therapy, Systemic Therapy, and more. Her services help others to contend with anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, life transitions, family dynamics, self-esteem, grief and loss, and more.

Prior to joining this practice, Christine worked in residential care and community mental health where she assisted diverse clients across the lifespan in individual, group, and family settings. This background informs her culturally responsive, trauma informed, and strength-based approach.

Christine is a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate and Nationally Certified Counselor who earned her Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Fairfield University. She is a member of both the American Counseling Association and Connecticut Counseling Association.

When we are in the middle of turbulent times, it can feel as though things will never improve. But history shows us that change is constant. Social movements have led to progress. Communities have rebuilt after devastation. People have reconciled after deep division. Hope is not blind optimism. It is the belief that human beings are capable of growth, repair, and cooperation. We have evidence of that capacity all around us. Look for the good that others are doing around you. In a young person speaking up for what they believe in. In neighbors helping each other after a storm. These moments rarely dominate the headlines, but they are happening.

In the end, focusing on common humanity is both a coping strategy and a quiet act of resistance against division. It is choosing to see complexity instead of caricature, connection instead of contempt. You do not have to carry the whole world. Start with the people in front of you. Offer curiosity instead of certainty. Offer compassion instead of quick judgment. In doing so, you become part of the very thing many of us long for more of in this world.

If you or a loved one has been feeling overwhelmed or hopeless, speaking to a therapist can help. Please reach out to LifeCatalyst Therapy and Coaching today.

If you have felt overwhelmed by the news lately, you are not alone. Many people are carrying a low hum of anxiety, anger, grief, or even numbness as they scroll through headlines about war, political division, climate disasters, or social injustice. Many of our clients, friends and family members have reported feeling more worry, stress and sadness recently. We see how deeply world events can affect our nervous systems and our relationships. It makes sense. We are wired to respond to threat, and in today’s world, threat is delivered right to our phones.

While we cannot control global events, we can choose how we respond. One powerful way to cope is to intentionally focus on our shared humanity. This is not about ignoring injustice or pretending differences do not matter. It is about grounding ourselves in the truth that underneath politics, cultures, and opinions, we are all human beings trying to feel safe, loved, and valued.

Here are some strategies to help you stay steady and hopeful:
