Depression Therapists in Ann Arbor, MI

Christina is a therapist because she believes in each individual's capacity for change. Therapy can seem daunting at first, which is why she has the utmost respect for people who choose to engage in the practice.

While honoring your inherent strengths, she will listen intently, offer support, and trust your vision for the future.

I strongly believe that connecting with nature has a positive influence on both the body and the mind. My private practice is located in a farmhouse built in 1850, set on 10 acres of land with walking trails, outdoor sitting areas and gardens. I have six dwarf pygmy goats, Billy, Marigold, Juniper, Ivy, Finn and Scout that live on the property, as well as several chickens. My dog Quincy often participates in sessions, and enjoys chasing the goats if given the opportunity. Many of my clients find it therapeutic to interact with the animals, or simply sit outside feeling the sunshine and listening to the birds sing during a session.

As a therapist, I like to be collaborative with clients and pull from multiple modalities in order to meet them where they are at. This way we tend to have a path to go down, with strategies to try. Some of my specialties are working with Young Adults, and Adults going through life transitions (graduation, new job, moving, divorce, etc.), processing grief and loss, and addressing anxiety or depression. Showing people compassion during these times, and helping them to find the space to grow has been a big part of my practice.

I have experience working with people with Bipolar Disorder, PMDD, learning disabilities, ADHD, anxiety, insomnia, auto-immune conditions, depression, anxiety, panic disorders, autism, & PTSD.
