As a Board Certified Clinical Mental Health Counselor, I am passionate about helping individuals of all ages battle anxiety. Stressful experiences can trigger anxiety and unmanaged anxiety may escalate to panic attacks. “Am I having a heart attack?” or “Am I about to die?”, are common questions when overrun with anxiety. This is your body responding to elevated fear and stress. Together we will identify tools that is unique to you overcoming the debilitating effects of anxiety. You have found someone who will listen, educate, and encourage you in your journey. Change is possible and there is hope.

If you suffer from anxiety, depression, dissatisfying relationships, or a history of trauma, you are not alone. Whether you want to learn more about yourself, set goals, learn coping skills or just want someone to hold space for your emotions and thoughts, I'm here to help. I believe the therapeutic relationship is a major component to success. Our time together will be a safe place, grounded in empathy and non-judgment, where we can discuss your life's meaning, emotional well-being, relationships, and anything that's on your mind.

Finding the right counselor can be the key to overcoming the variety of challenges posed by life. I have worked extensively with individuals, couples and families impacted by anxiety, depression, trauma, significant life changes and important role transitions. If you are struggling to overcome any of these difficulties, I can help. Our work will be aimed at gaining a deeper understanding of your emotions, motivations and patterns of behavior. Greater understanding and tools for change do lead to relief from distress and to lifelong personal growth.

Everyone needs support in sorting through their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors at various points in their lives. It takes time to understand how our formative years and our present circumstances have shaped our view of ourselves as well as our view of others and the world at large. I hope to provide an empathic space where you can explore your inner world, and in doing so discover new insights that will help you be kinder to yourself in the midst of life’s difficulties. In couple & family therapy, I will help you to identify which patterns are causing disconnection and then help you form a secure attachment to your loved ones.

Mental disorders came from different origins in your life, such as Depression, Alcohol/substance abuse addiction, anxiety, grief, self-harming, suicidal and homicidal ideations, and mood dysregulation. In the long run, these caused you despair and hopelessness. And therefore, you have not been fully functioning as you would love to. No matter what or where your issues streamed from, my goal is help you reach your optimal level of function. I do believe that if everything in your life is fully functioning, then you will be able to enjoy your life to the fullest.

Sometimes the life we want and the life we have are not the same. With proper support, however, there is a way to integrate reality with your hopes and goals. If you have had difficulties in your relationships, career, or daily life, I want to help you navigate a path toward integration and wholeness. I believe that with compassionate support and a curious look into one's thoughts, behaviors, feelings, and motivation, everyone is capable of change. My experience includes (but is not limited to) working with children, youth and adults who have experienced anxiety, depression, family conflict and life transitions.

Are you ready to work on your mental and emotional health? I will help with depression, anxiety, marriage communication, stress, spirituality, life changes, or any other issues you need to talk out. Together we will assess your situation and create goals to get you to good mental and emotional health. We will examine how your physical health, self-care practices, work and personal relationships, faith crisis, and any other elements of your life impact your well-being. We can examine your coping skills and inaccurate thought patterns that keep you down. We will get to the root of the problems.

You cannot recover from anxiety by just remaining calm, or depression by just being positive. Recovery from the battles of life takes time, patience, and releasing old habits. Whether you’re facing mental illness, parenting, relationships, or life transitions; change must occur in order for peace to resurface. It's okay to feel unstable, it's ok for things to not be ok, and it's okay to ask for help.

Life can be hard but what’s even harder is trying to figure it out on your own. Trauma, depression, anxiety among other difficulties can be challenging to understand and cause chaos to our lives and relationships. We want to feel better, but feel as if everything and everyone is letting us down. What we want most is to feel strong and free from the burdens of life. Every person’s struggle is unique, but so are their strengths. My goal as a counselor is to help clients find their unique strengths and freedom from pain. I place great importance on assisting clients in finding the tools to succeed and find peace in their world.

I have spent the better part of the last 20 years working with individuals and families to improve mental, physical, spiritual, and emotional health. My belief in peoples potential for greatness has stretched from elementary schools to universities, homes to hospitals, and places of worship to detention facilities.

Life can be challenging - things come up! Issues like relationships, family, self-care, stress, medical issues, childhood trauma, abuse, grief/loss, depression, anxiety can feel overwhelming! Maybe you've felt that no matter how hard you try, things never get better. Maybe you’ve wondered if therapy would even work for you. You’re not alone. I am a big believer in empowering people to embrace their journey to healing. I understand that finding solutions is very important, even in the midst of busy schedules. Wellness is within your reach. Everyone has the right to feel better. I am looking forward to meeting with you. -Christina
