Whether you are feeling depressed, struggling with anxiety, or seem to choose dead-end relationships, I’m here to provide a safe space where we can work together on resolving your concerns.
I approach talk therapy with optimistic enthusiasm. I love working with clients who are facing transitions in their lives. It allows me to witness them overcome challenges and come out stronger on the other side. I’m a curious person by nature, so it’s a joy getting to know those I work with.
My strengths as a therapist include a non-judgmental attitude, strong empathy and insight, and experience with a wide variety of clients with all types of issues and challenges. My therapy approach is based primarily on cognitive behavioral principles. Of note, I have a professional interest in mixed (neurotypical/neurodivergent) relationships.
On the personal front, I have traveled extensively which has given me a broad perspective on how culture shapes our experiences and values. As a single parent, I know the pleasure and challenges of raising a (successful) child on my own.
In terms of education, I studied clinical social work at the University of South Florida and became licensed (LCSW) in 2004. I have worked in mental health for over 20 years, 7 of those in direct service with clients, in a variety of settings.
I look forward to meeting and working with you.
Additional areas of focus: Grief, Intimacy-related issues, Parenting issues, Career difficulties, Bipolar disorder, ADHD, Autism and Asperger Syndrome

Christina is very attentive, responsive, supportive and sweet. I always feel like I’m venting to a friend. I stopped using betterhelp for a year but came back to it and messaged Christina again for assistance. She responded right away and made me feel happy to have someone like her to talk things out with.
