Christine Highfill
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC-S
Living with BFRBs such as hair pulling, skin picking, or nail biting can feel exhausting and isolating. These behaviors are often misunderstood, yet they are common ways of coping with stress, anxiety, or sensory needs. I provide a compassionate, judgment-free space to explore the roots of these behaviors while also developing practical tools to reduce urges, increase awareness, and build healthier coping strategies. Together, we’ll focus on breaking cycles of shame, strengthening self-acceptance, and creating supportive routines so that you can feel more in control and at peace in your daily life.
