About me

My desire is to help you learn how to express who you are and to experience growth within your family and other systems surrounding you. I hope to help you with developing good intuition, creating healthy connections, and becoming more of your authentic self. I want you to experience more joy and peace within your life. I enjoy working with service members/veterans and their families. I also enjoy working with adults with infertility issues and women or men who have experienced sexual trauma.
I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist. I use a variety of approaches, including Mindfulness practices; Cognitive-Behavioral Therapies; Attachment Theory Approaches and Systems Oriented Therapy. I am trained in trauma protocol therapies as well as expressive arts therapy. I hope to help you meet your goals here and see you grow and change in the world outside the therapy office.

She was the first therapist that I was assigned to and I feel so lucky! She is very kind and understanding and I never feel judged about the things we talk about. I would recommend Christina to anyone!

Christina is very attentive to my concerns. She answers me n a timely manner and helps find the answers I need. She keeps in touch with me and check on me regularly. This is my first experience with a therapist and she has made it worth it.

Christina has been just the right fit for me. If you’re looking for a balance of compassion and knowledge she’s yours too.

She is so great. She's been helping me sort through some work-related trauma and has been so patient and kind when I turtle and don't answer for weeks. I appreciate her so damn much.

She’s seriously amazing and very attentive. She asks the right questions without being pushy. Nor is she is pushOVER. I’d highly recommend her.
