About me

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Wisconsin with 14 years of counseling experience. I enjoy empowering clients to feel assertive and able to face anything. I have experience in crisis services, corrections, private practice, and community practice. I am certified in Functional Family Therapy (FFT). I am interested in individual, group, couples, and family therapy. I have a Bachelors degree in Sociology from the University of Wisconsin Parkside and a Master of Science in Education-Counseling from Concordia University Wisconsin.
My style of counseling is utilizing Motivational Interviewing techniques to elicit change talk. My approach is comforting, supportive, and encouraging. I have experience in Dialectical Behavior Therapy with interest in forgiveness, healthy relationships, and co-occurring disorders.
I am looking forward to working with you!

Christina is a really great therapist. She’s so good that at struggling times when I had to pause therapy, I made sure I went back to her, because I know I’m happy with her. She listens, understands, and helps with everything that you are going through. My one and only therapist. I’d recommend her to anyone.

Christina is absolutely wonderful! She has grown on me and I have absolute faith in her. I feel very comfortable and she knows my needs. I would be lost without her.
