She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and related aftermath.

She uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to address the impact of traumatic events and how those experiences show up in daily life.

Client-Centered Therapy informs how she listens and responds, centering each person’s goals and preferences.

Her style is straightforward and respectful. She tries to meet clients where they are and help them weigh options. Sessions are practical and aimed at small, manageable changes that add up over time.

Christina has worked across a range of concerns beyond trauma and mood issues, including anger, ADHD, relationship strain, parenting stress, grief, and career concerns. She also addresses more specific areas such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, blended family issues, and coping with separation or divorce.

People who prefer a collaborative, down-to-earth approach may find her helpful. She emphasizes support and encouragement while people work through difficult feelings and life transitions.

How trauma-informed and cognitive approaches work online

Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people look at how past traumatic events affect current feelings and behavior. In practice this often means pacing conversations about painful memories and building skills to reduce distress and manage triggers.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing out new ways of thinking and acting. It is often used for anxiety, panic, low mood, and many everyday problems where changing patterns can help reduce symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christina will collaborate with each person to choose what feels most helpful based on goals and preferences. That decision can change over time as progress is made or needs shift.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time and allow check-ins during a break at work or between activities. Confirm the available session formats before booking so you know what options are offered for scheduling and session length.
