Hi there, I'm Christina!

I offer counseling to individuals navigating difficult life events, relationship changes, mood disorders, and postpartum anxiety or depression. My background includes working with diverse populations presenting wide-ranging diagnoses and clinical complexities. I am dedicated to helping clients identify and achieve their goals.

My focus

In addition to providing therapy to both families and individuals, I have extensive experience working with co-occurring disorders in both outpatient and inpatient settings.

My approach

My therapeutic focus is driven by the utilization of various techniques and coping skills stemming from evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) with an emphasis on mindfulness.
