Hi there, I'm Christina!

I am looking forward to working with you using my 20+ years of experience working in federal & state prisons, foster care, homeless, inpatient and outpatient. Mostly, I have experience working with complex PTSD and am passionate about assisting in developing a sense of wellbeing, making the experience worth it.

My focus

I work with adults who are seeking solutions to complex PTSD from childhood and/or young adult trauma. I assist adults in creating the kind of life they want to live so that they can figure out how to thrive. I am encouraging, patient, and calm. I enjoy encouraging adults to learn to walk their life path in a better happier manner.

My approach

Listening to unique situations, I use reflective listening skills with brain anatomy/physiology explaining the stress response works emphasizing the importance of stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system to encourage the sense of thriving. I am certified in cognitive behavioral therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR).
