About Christina
I specialize in individual therapy for teens and adults, as well as parent coaching. I recognize that teens are in a unique and transformative stage of life, requiring a specialized approach that meets them where they are with empathy and understanding. I often serve as a bridge between teens and their parents, facilitating open communication and fostering deeper relationships.
I am also passionate about supporting women in finding their voice and embracing both personal and professional growth. With extensive experience working with individuals and families from diverse cultural backgrounds, I offer culturally responsive therapy that respects and integrates each client's unique values, perspectives, and lived experiences.
My path to becoming a therapist is deeply rooted in both personal experience and a belief in shared humanity. One quote that guides my work comes from Aboriginal activist Lilla Watson: “If you have come to help me, you are wasting your time. If you have come because your liberation is bound up with mine, then let us work together.” This idea—that healing happens in connection, not hierarchy—shapes how I show up with clients.
I’ve faced my own experiences with family conflict, trauma, and uncertainty, which led me to reflect, unlearn, and rebuild my sense of self. Through both the support of others and intentional self-exploration, I came to understand how patterns form—and how they can change. These experiences allow me to meet clients with genuine empathy, not just clinical understanding.
Growing up in a small Midwestern town remains a core part of who I am, while living in different places has expanded my perspective. I connect deeply with those who come from simple roots but feel a pull toward growth, change, and self-discovery. Together, we can explore what liberation means for you—and how to move toward it.
