About Christina
She looks at each person as a whole, not just a diagnosis or a single problem. Christina listens to what brought someone to therapy and helps set clear, manageable goals. She uses problem solving and skill-building to move toward those goals.
Christina draws from several approaches to tailor sessions to each person. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She adds dialectical behavior strategies for emotion regulation and coping skills.
Her work also includes client-centered and attachment-informed listening to deepen self-understanding and relationships. Mindfulness and acceptance-based ideas are woven in to increase present-moment awareness and values-driven action.
Christina has worked in a range of settings including hospice care, corrections, veteran services, prevention programs, and with families and people who have disabilities. That background informs a flexible style that blends practical tools with thoughtful reflection.
In sessions she offers grounding, relaxation, guided meditation, and strengths-based planning. Christina aims to help people find realistic ways to cope, make progress, and reach the victories they want in life.

Approaches that guide online work and progress
Christina uses several approaches that translate well to conversation and practice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying new behaviors to change how someone feels. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and everyday stressors.Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches specific skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerating distress. These techniques can be useful for people who need tools for strong emotions or relationship challenges.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they adapt strategies over time as progress and needs evolve.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session options before booking since formats were not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to practice skills between sessions in real-life settings and bring those experiences back to therapy for discussion.
