Hi there, I'm Christina! I offer counseling to individuals, assisting in navigating difficult life events, relationship changes, mood-related disorders, and postpartum anxiety or depression. My background includes working with a diverse population who present with wide-ranging diagnoses and clinical complexities. I am dedicated to working with my clients on identifying and achieving their goals, whatever those may be!
My therapeutic focus is driven by the utilization of various techniques and coping skills stemming from evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) with an emphasis on mindfulness. I offer a client-based and supportive communication style.
In addition to providing therapy to both families and individuals, I have extensive experience working with co-occurring disorders in both outpatient and inpatient settings.
