Approach

"Often, the patterns that hold us back are not flaws, but forms of protection. Parts of us may feel frozen, overwhelmed, or afraid, while other parts work hard to keep everything functioning. These patterns can be difficult to shift through insight alone. By integrating mindfulness, somatic awareness, and whole-person therapies, I help clients begin to understand these internal dynamics and relate to themselves with greater compassion and clarity.

​

My approach is centered on creating a safe, steady, and compassionate therapeutic relationship. I believe that healing happens within connection, where you feel respected, heard, and able to explore your inner world without judgment. Through presence, curiosity, and genuine care, we work together to create a space where you can begin to understand the root of your challenges while also building practical tools for navigating them."

Experience

Christina works with adults experiencing life transitions, trauma and PTSD, anxiety, mood-related challenges, relationship concerns, grief, identity exploration, and stress. She also supports individuals in understanding and relating to diagnoses in ways that foster self-advocacy and reduce stigma. Christina's goal is to create a safe, compassionate space where clients feel heard, supported, and empowered to reconnect with themselves. She takes a holistic, person-centered approach, emphasizing a therapeutic relationship grounded in mindfulness, curiosity, and trust.

Drawing from Mindfulness, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Person-Centered Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Gestalt Therapy, and Expressive Arts, Christina tailors treatment to meet each client’s unique needs. Her approach integrates the mind, body, and nervous system, helping clients develop greater self-awareness, emotional resilience, and self-compassion.

Christina holds a Master’s degree in Mindfulness-Based Transpersonal Counseling, Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing (Poetry), and Naropa University's certification in Mindfulness Instruction.​​
