The Real Poetic Paradox, LLC

Love should deepen your connection to yourself - not cost you who you are.

I’ve created this space for the LGBTQIA+ community who want to love deeply without abandoning themselves.

Through coaching, groups, and online courses, I work to support my clients in developing a deep sense of self-awareness to transform patterns of anxiety, limerence, over-giving, and emotional fusion into grounded self-trust and embodied connection.

Real love doesn’t require you to disappear. It asks you to stay.

I’m Christine,

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Gestalt Therapist, and facilitator trained in trauma-informed and somatic approaches to healing and relationships.

My work focuses on LGBTQIA+ individuals and partners navigating love, identity, and emotional grounding.

I created The Real Poetic Paradox after recognizing a pattern I noticed everywhere: Insight without stability. People understood their wounds - but still lost themselves in love.

Now I teach the missing piece: How to stay.
