Hi there, I'm Christina Valerie!

You're driven and dependable, but lately it feels heavy. On the outside, things look fine—you're keeping up with work, showing up for everyone. But inside there's constant pressure, overthinking, maybe burnout. I work with people who are used to being the strong one, who don't look like they're struggling but feel stuck underneath.

My focus

I support individuals navigating challenges, strengthening resilience, and realizing personal growth. If you're ready for things to feel easier emotionally, mentally, and in your body, I'm here. Therapy with me is a place to slow down and get honest, without judgment or pressure. You don't have to do this alone.

My approach

My approach is collaborative and grounded. I integrate mindfulness to help you slow down and tune in, psychodynamic work to explore where patterns come from, CBT to shift the thoughts that keep you stuck, and trauma-informed care so we move at your pace with safety and trust. Therapy is support, not judgment.
