Christina has been amazing helpful to my growth and healing

Written on Sep 10, 2024 after therapy with Christina for 2 years and 7 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self esteem, and coping with life changes

Christina is an incredible therapist. It’s so hard to find a good fit when it comes to therapy. I had to go through a couple different therapists before I found her. She has been helping me heal, and I feel closer to peace after every session.

Written on Jul 04, 2024 after therapy with Christina for 9 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, grief, and eating disorders

Christina is absolutely amazing! This was my first experience with therapy, and I can't thank her enough for everything she did for me. I had tried another therapist before her that just didn't help me much, and once switching to Christina, it was so different for me. She gave me hope and an outlet. She was encouraging and thoughtful; helpful and a great listener. She offered me advice and tools when I needed, and support when that's what I needed too. She really took the time to get to know me and provide the best for me. Honestly cannot thank her enough.

Christina listens and supports my decisions and gives feedback. Checks back on me throughout the week to see how I'm doing/Improving. I really enjoy working with Christina. I would recommend her to anyone who needs to talk to someone.
