Counseling can help with issues that affect our behaviors and relationships. I’m here to offer support during times of transition. We will explore your attachment style and how you perceive and relate to the world and other people. We will set goals and create a plan to begin your journey of change. I am an ally to individuals in non-traditional relationships who may be facing issues related to non-monogamy, polyamory. I also work with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, and who are recovering from trauma.

"The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction, not a destination." ~Carl Rogers My approach to therapy considers that the mind and body are integral parts of a whole being. Achieving balance between these parts is an important component of the healing process and my goal is to help clients achieve this stability. Anxiety and depression can be unbearable and sometimes immobilizing; relationship problems can weaken our capacity for experiencing happiness; death, divorce, and trauma can leave us hopeless and empty.

I am a licensed professional counselor with a background in education who enjoys working with kids 10 and older, teens, and adults from all backgrounds and lifestyles. My approach to counseling is that life is messy but we are in this together. Everyone, whether child or adult, has a unique perspective with a need to feel love, belonging, and a chance to flourish. Together, we will explore finding that authentic inner voice through compassionate self-reflection and inquiry as we work towards personal goals, behavior changes, or perspective taking.

Each of us reach a point in life where we need to pause, breathe, and restart. For some of us that restart will happen on our own for others of us that restart will require someone a few steps ahead of us to reach back and give use a hand. I would be honored to explore the obstacles in your life, identify the changes you want and deserve while providing you the tools to create a life that you are proud to show the world.

I love people! Especially working with women. Alway have. I discovered I loved helping women find their way out of feeling helpless and hopeless from their problems. It is such a joy to see someone find that inner strength within to empower them to achieve their goals.

Imagine a heavy burden dropping off of your shoulders and moving forward in freedom. I utilize powerful, trauma-based therapies with clients such as Flash Technique and E.M.D.R. Flash technique can dramatically reduce disturbance connected to trauma or stress. It is a less intrusive way to deal with intrusive memories while focused on a positive engaging focus. I will walk with you through this journey with guidance, compassion, and a neutral stance while you discover how to restore peace. I also utilize E.M.D.R. with clients who desire that powerful treatment modality.

I believe there is no typical addict each person is uniquely different and so are the situations in your lives that have taken to this place. I also believe that including families is an essential tool to helping the entire unit heal and reconnect. Correct Choices lead us to harmony with all things, no matter how long and hard the road can get. Life's cycles, eternal motion and the choices we are confronted with always give us Another Chance for Change. I accept some major insurance. Unlike other programs, I understand that sometimes getting seen is urgent and you don't want to wait weeks. I attempt to get clients in within 24 hours. And I am like you; I hate waiting in the reception area to see the counselor, therefore I make every attempt to stay on schedule this is a priority to me so that I won't disrespect your time. I am currently work towards a PhD. in Addiction since I find helping those who struggle with substance use disorders important and fulfilling.

It is my desire to provide Christian counseling for those throughout the state of Texas that are seeking transformation in their lives and relationships.

I am passionate about working with marriages and families whose relationships may be in crisis (broken trust; conflicted; disconnected) as well as stable families wanting deeper connection and relational intimacy. I help them see themselves and each other through a lens that includes the issues each person brought with them to the relationship, including ways their hearts and minds were impacted by relationships and situations experienced during their formative years.

Currently, Christina is interested in working with teenagers, adults, and couples who may be experiencing difficulty in their day-to-day lives due to stress, depression, anxiety, life transitions, addictions, or self-esteem issues. Christina’s most positive therapeutic results have stemmed from a collaboration of Solution-Focused Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to allow individuals to challenge negative thinking and to implement problem-solving strategies.
