Christine Walker, LPC | Career Therapist
Hello, I’m happy you’ve found your way here.
I didn’t set out intending to become a career therapist. In fact, I originally thought I was going to become a marriage therapist, but during my training, I discovered I’m uniquely good at working with smart, intensely driven people, the kind of people who work like they have something to prove.
