About Me

"Owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing that we'll ever do." -Brene Brown
I am a licensed clinical social worker and have been practicing for about 9 years. My practice consists of a strength-based approach and the use of cognitive behavioral therapy. I have a lot of experience working with abuse, trauma, anxiety, depression, oncology, self-worth, grief and loss, body image, couples therapy, and sexuality. I provide a balance of warmth and validation paired with challenging you in working towards self-growth and attaining your personal goals.

I earned my MSW degree from Illinois State University and am actively licensed in Illinois, North Carolina, and Colorado.

Written by N.I. on Aug 13, 2019 after counseling with Christina for 2 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, lgbt, relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, self esteem, and coping with life changes

Christina has been so extremely helpful for me. She has guided me to better myself, to build a strong foundation, helped me know my self-worth, and to know that I am an individual and strong by myself. She has helped me process and move past my traumas. Because of her guidance, I am a 10x better version of myself.

I worked with Christina for a couple of months & she truly is an expert in her field. I have been seeing a therapist since my parents divorced when I was 9 & Christina taught me so many new things about emotional management that I had never even heard before. She offered so many additional resources that I feel confident and comfortable moving forward on my healing journey without her guidance. Although I will miss out weekly sessions as they were such a safe space for me to share. I would recommend Christina to anyone dealing with emotion conflict, anger issues or trauma.
