Ms C listens & doesn’t shy away from telling me things I may not want to hear but need to hear. She’s patient and always a pleasure to work with

Christina is excellent to work with. I have enjoyed her services. I have found myself relaxed and more reflective on the situation that I am grieving.
I look forward to our weekly sessions as she has a calm about her that allows our time to go by in a flash!
