You seek counseling because you want something different for yourself and to find new possibilities where you feel stuck. As much as you feel capable in parts of your life, your inability to solve these issues makes you doubt yourself and perhaps feel like your own liability. To change, we need to feel safe to explore these challenging feelings and actions, the stress they cause, and how they originated and perpetuate in your life.

Realizing you need assistance in navigating life's challenges marks the initial step towards effecting change. I firmly believe in the interconnectedness of mind and body. As mental and emotional wounds begin to heal, the potential for physical healing also emerges. I specialize in helping individuals with anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, relationship issues, self-harm, attachment, emotion regulation, and personality disorders. I'm a Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist. I provide teletherapy counseling for adults aiming to enhance themselves by addressing and healing emotional wounds.

Patients I've treated need help in their suffering. Life has become so overwhelmingly helpless and stressful that they break. They suffer with anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, fear, anger, depression, grief, fracture of reality, marital and relationship issues, and suicidal ideations. They want peace. They want someone who cares and can give them hope there are better days ahead. My patients want someone who can relate and understand what they're going through. They want someone they can trust and is knowledgeable and able to help. They are tired of running in circles and hearing the same thing over and over with no results.

Welcome to an Empowerment Journey. I am a holistic oriented psychotherapist who loves working with motivated individuals to move from a place of stress and unhealthy coping strategies (eating disorders, anxiety, trauma, body image disturbance, perfectionism, codependency, etc) toward a more loving connection with self-body acceptance, relationships, and thriving strategies. My passionate approach fosters an inner ability for healing by focusing on awareness and action change. The foundation I utilize is "client centered" using an eclectic eye for which tools/methods would be most helpful for each client in psychotherapy sessions.

Life can be challenging and each person bears unique gifts, burdens and struggles. Therapy can be a helpful way to process through difficult experiences as well as obtain clarity about new possibilities. Whether you are seeking healing, more understanding, new ways of thinking, better ways to cope, greater freedom from past pain or desiring more in your future, Christina sees therapy as a collaborative relationship and sacred safe space where you can pursue these goals.

I specialize in the messy and beautiful process of being human. I believe that every person has the capacity to grow as an individual and to find meaningful connection and purpose in life. When we become disconnected from our true selves, we lose sight of this central truth. You are the expert on you; my role as a therapist is to walk with you and coach you through the process of discovering who you really are and how you can accomplish a happier and more fulfilling life.

Counseling is a personal journey of vulnerability, reflection, and connection that can lead to greater self-discovery and peace. Many people seek counseling as they attempt to face moments throughout their life when they feel in need of a connection with others that can help build their strengths and ultimately, their resilience. We believe in the power of resilience. A person’s journey may be filled with many struggles, and it is their resilience that sees them through the toughest challenges. We work with people to offer the support, assistance, and connection that may be needed to continue a fulfilling journey.

I am a Counselor and an Art Therapist because I personally know how life changing therapy can be. I witnessed a school shooting at Northern Illinois University while I was in undergrad in 2008. I was at a complete loss as to how to begin to understand what had happened. The art program that I was a member of was an incredibly close community. The support I found there, along with individual therapy and my personal art making allowed me to process what I was feeling. This experience directly impacted the direction that I saw my life taking.

Humans are by nature social animals and yet many of us have lost connection within ourselves and our community. I believe this is due, in part, to a frantic world that has led to relational trauma, a poor sense of self, health challenges, addiction, loss and isolation. Feeling relevant, finding meaning, having a mission, knowing joy and learning emotional regulation/tolerance/resiliency are ways in which we can heal ourselves and the world at large. I work with individuals (adults only) and couples.

Have you ever felt like you wanted more out of life, but you weren’t sure where to start? You find yourself engaging in familiar and ineffective patterns, but aren’t sure how to break free? Choosing therapy as a mode to find your way is a courageous decision you can make toward transformation, in a way that feels authentic and tailor-made for you. Seeking therapy does not have to mean there is something “wrong” with you, only that you need a safe and accepting place to make sense of difficult emotions, painful experiences, and to create tools to make lasting change. **Currently, all sessions with me are Telehealth only**
