About Me
Welcome! I am a Mastered, Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York and I have been working for over 15 years with families and clients of all ages. My pleasure is helping to support my clients going through their unique journeys. I have helped clients with depression, anxiety, ADHD, Autism, grief/loss, parenting concerns, relationship challenges, addictions, trauma, abuse, Bipolar, adjustment issues, and crisis. I helped families address a range of concerns that revolved around child abuse, child neglect, domestic violence, substance abuse, self-esteem, and more.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I integrate my kindness, humor and objectivity to assist and I believe in treating others with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines client centered therapy and structural family therapy, in addition to working with an approach to focus on strengths that you have. We will identify them together and use them to create what you want and need in your life.
My goal is to help my clients be the best version of themselves and live the best life that is creative and authentic to them. The process of uncovering and discovering takes courage. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
"Authenticity is a collection of choices that we have to make every day. It's about the choice to show up and be real. The choice to be honest. The choice to let our true selves be seen." Brene Brown
I look forward to working with you! Take care, Christina

I came to Christina without a full understanding of what I needed from therapy, but I knew I needed help. It’s been a process and we’re still working on it, but she has been patient and encouraging, and when I’m stumped has been willing to share questions or more general discussions until we find what feels like the right direction to go.
I love working with Christina! She is very understanding and easy to talk to. I leave every session feeling more optimistic and ready to take on the week. I am so happy to have found such an awesome therapist match on BH!! ❤️
Christina is very helpful and easy to talk to. She’s given me a lot of ways to change my perspective and encourages me to think about things in my life I wouldn’t have before. She encourages me to make positive changes and I always look forward to my meetings with her.
Christina listens very well and is able to provide me the support I am in need of at the moment. Thank you!
Though we have not done much yet through Betterhelp. Christina has been patient and understanding with me. So far I have been extremely happy
She is awesome!!
