About Christina
Christina focuses on the whole person rather than a single symptom. She asks about daily struggles and larger life aims, then works with each person to set realistic steps. Sessions include problem solving, skill practice, and tools to handle setbacks so progress can continue between meetings.
Her background includes work in hospice care, corrections, substance-use prevention, and supporting veterans. She has also supported families and people caring for disabled children, which informs her practical, resource-aware approach. Those experiences shape how she helps people cope with transitions and caregiving stress.
Christina blends several evidence-informed methods to match a person’s needs. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking, dialectical behavior ideas for emotional regulation, and grounding and relaxation exercises for immediate relief. Guided meditation and strengths-based work are used when helpful.
Therapy with Christina centers on steady effort and gradual growth. She encourages people to try, keep trying, and reflect on what works. If someone wants help defining goals, solving problems, or building personal resilience, she supports that journey in straightforward, day-to-day terms.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Christina uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and depression and improve daily routines. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills when emotional regulation and coping with intense feelings are needed; this includes practical tools for distress tolerance and managing strong reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Christina will listen to a person’s goals and preferences and suggest techniques to try. She adjusts methods over time so the plan fits the client’s needs and pace, making decisions together about what helps most.
Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking to learn which online formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule, and reduce travel time. The focus remains on usable skills, consistent practice, and measurable steps you can take between meetings.
