Sometimes in life it feels like there’s a big Rubik’s Cube stuck in your brain, impossible to solve. That’s what I am here to help with! Everyone deserves a safe, judgement free space to unpack those thoughts and feelings and start to make sense of them. My passion is helping adults heal from all their trauma, whether it be childhood or recent. I have experience working with adults who struggle with trauma, anxiety, codependence, attachment difficulties, addictions, and personality disorders. I also have significant experience working with survivors of domestic violence who are striving to rebuild their self- esteem and self-worth.

One of the most difficult things we can experience is in not knowing what comes next. Maybe you feel lost, confused, or broken - that some part of you is missing, and the daily struggle to keep it together for yourself or your loved ones feels impossibly overwhelming. Maintaining the obligations of family, work, and friendships can be so exhausting that it seems easier to avoid them altogether. Maybe you’ve considered therapy before, but thought it was too expensive, time consuming, or worry you might be seen as "weak." But how would it feel to find yourself again? To stop, catch your breath, and learn to find peace among the chaos?

We are complex individuals molded and sometimes broken by our unique life experiences. These experiences provide the subjective lens through which we perceive reality, and can negatively influence our thoughts and behaviors. This can sometimes happen outside of our awareness. For instance, we often create hidden internal conflicts which can cause daily distress in our lives. However, we can also be very aware of negative thoughts and behaviors which create havoc in our lives. By allowing me to step into your story and your life experiences, we can work towards the goal of improving your overall well-being and happiness.

"Just do what you can today." It can be as simple as getting out of bed or brushing your teeth. Your “best” each day is going to look different and that is okay. Reward yourself for the accomplishments you did, no matter how big or small. YOU are the main character to your story and no matter how you narrate it, I would be honored to walk alongside you in achieving your goals!

Life can be overwhelming sometimes, but you don’t have to navigate your healing journey alone! While making yourself vulnerable may seem scary, it is also one of the strongest indicators of courage. When faced with overwhelming emotions, it can feel comfortable to avoid those feelings; however, comfort and courage cannot exist at the same time.

My name is Christina and I have been a client before. Today I am a licensed clinical social worker and have been practicing for almost seven years. Throughout those seven years I have learned and come to believe that therapy can help! My passion is working with adolescents and adults in identifying areas in their life that are in need of a change. This change can be through physical health and mental health. Many of my clients are working towards more positive thought processes and acceptance of the things they can’t change.

Life is full of ups and downs. Sometimes the downs are so low that we feel as though there is no way to get back up. I have had many of those lows myself, and therapy has been one of the greatest sources of support and comfort during those times. That is why I decided to become a therapist. I wanted to be the source of support, encouragement, and guidance that was offered to me for others. The hardest part about therapy is often taking that first step to acknowledge that we need some extra help. It takes a lot of strength and courage to reach out, so congratulations!

“One of the greatest things you can do to help others is not just share and give what you have, but to help them discover what they have within themselves.” The life we desire is not always the life in front of us. Emotions can be difficult to understand and navigate through life’s seasons. It is essential to have access to a nonjudgmental, compassionate, and therapeutic environment for people to move through life’s ups and downs safely and process anything from everyday stressors to the most traumatic events.

Life’s experiences, past or present, can be difficult to navigate on your own. My goal as a therapist is to support you through your journey to discover your inner strengths, build resilience, and achieve personal healing.

One of the hardest things is feeling like we have hurt or disappointed those closest to us. It’s a struggle every day to keep relationships and even friendships going smoothly. We often disappoint ourselves as well, and life hasn’t always been what we hoped it would be. Maybe things look good on the surface but inside we feel like everyone else has it figured out while we barely keep it together. It doesn’t have to feel like this, and I can help you feel better through therapy. While in therapy with me you will definitely laugh, you might cry, and you will see changes in your life that you’ve wanted for a long time.

Adverse Childhood Experiences are common. According to the CDC, about 61% of adults surveyed reported they experienced at least one traumatic event before the age of 18. Therapy is one of many tools that can be used to help prevent the long lasting impacts of trauma. That’s where I come in.

"Obstacles don’t have to stop you if you run into a wall. Don’t turn around and give up, figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.” Every person has the ability to reach beyond the limits of what is possible, and we only reach these limits by working through them until we go beyond them into the impossible. Each step we take can move us towards achieving those goals.

The therapeutic process is about you!! We all have a story, and a past! It is imperative that you feel comfortable and safe for a clinician to earn your trust, to engage and assist you on your journey of interpersonal change. I recognize the significant role you play in developing your tailored treatment plan and how vulnerable you must feel asking for help. If you are uncertain what you need, want, desire or struggling where your life's path is taking you, know the power is within you to make rational positive changes and choices for your life with the assistance of a trained clinician.
