My ideal client is someone who carries a great deal of emotional weight and feels overwhelmed. You may be navigating past trauma, a difficult transition into parenthood, or the unique challenges of aging. You may be experiencing conflict with your partner or struggling with other relationships. You may feel stuck in old patterns, overwhelmed by emotions, or feel as if parts of you are battling against each other. You may feel scared or nervous about seeking help, but have a willingness to explore new approaches to finding your "North" - your unique inner compass - and reconnecting with a deeper understanding of identity and growth.

I offer acceptance. I believe we all heal through connection. I am here to support you through your individual journey- whatever that looks like. We can lay the burdens down together. You are not alone.

Throughout my life I have become so aware of the importance of having someone who will listen, someone who will offer compassion without judgment. Throughout my career I have strived to place that understanding in focus as I worked with individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, personality disorders, and the lifelong pains of trauma.

Everyone has a story. Sometimes the story has a happy ending, but often it is a journey filled with ups and downs. You or your child’s story may include depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, or family and relationship issues. Therapy is a great place to start processing your unique story. Talking in a confidential, supportive space can provide the perspective needed to heal and to find hope and clarity again.

The stories that define our lives are powerful, and can impact the way we look at everything. But we also have the ability to rewrite our stories and create new ones that can be better, and even more powerful than the ones we are living by today. If you are feeling stuck, alone, lost, or overwhelmed - you're don't have to keep going on your own. Sometimes rewriting the story we're in the middle of can seem like a totally impossible task, especially without support or a meaningful plan for change. In my work as a therapist, I am passionate about helping my clients feel empowered and equipped to take their narrative back.

If you are looking for a place to find healing through a holistic approach to mental health, I likely be a good fit for you. I find client's often come to therapy either because they feel safer speaking to an interested stranger than to a family member or friend; or they are seeking change and haven't yet found the key that unlocks the door of healing. Here you can feel comfortable to explore what healing would look like specific to your needs.

Hey, I’m really glad you’re here. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, burned out, or like something isn't working anymore, you’re not alone — and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself. I primarily work with those navigating anxiety, depression, neurodivergence, identity, and chronic self-doubt/imposter syndrome. As a neurodivergent therapist, I bring both clinical training and lived experience to my work. My style is warm, collaborative, and non-judgmental, grounded in the belief that therapy should be a safe place to understand yourself more deeply and move forward in a way that feels authentic.
(I also see teens age 16+)

Do you find yourself struggling with frequent worries, anxiety, depression, memories from the past? You want to move forward, live freely, and truly enjoy life, work, and meaningful relationships with others. You have goals you want to achieve and are tired of feeling held back. Through reflection you realize that many of these struggles are tied to the past... perhaps to childhood experiences, unhealthy relationships, trauma, or past difficult situations you went through. Perhaps you can't even quite identify the reason, you just feel a heavy emotional burden and that something is holding you back.

In my counseling practice, I focus on assisting those who are transitioning out of previously intimate relationships and support them as they seek to redefine and rediscover themselves as individuals. This process often involves re-examining one’s self-esteem, self-worth, values, and emotional security, all of which may have been threatened or damaged in former relationships. It is my firmly held clinical and personal belief that, following the ending of a relationship, we all have the choice as to whether we become bitter, or even better, as a result of our life’s experiences.

Hi there, I'm Christina! I am a trauma therapist who serves those seeking a healing experience from trauma, anxiety spectrum disorders, and other mental health challenges. I am also passionate about supporting members of the LGBTQIA+ community.
