Great to meet you!

Hi! My name is Christina. I am a licensed clinical social worker and have been been in the field for about 6 years. I have worked with a diverse background in the mental health and the substance use field ranging from adolescents to adults who have experienced trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, and life transitions,

A bit about my approach to therapy

I truly believe in building rapport with clients, getting to know your interest and strengths to utilize in treatment together. I believe in a person centered approach and like to go at your pace. I at times, like to bring my dog in to sessions, as it can help strengthen the rapport process especially with teens!

I utilize solution focused approach, CBT/DBT, and EMDR

What you can expect from our first session

My clients typically share that they find sessions to be comforting or can take away a different perspective than before. Rapport building is key. I also like to end session with a positive affirmation to make a client empowered as the session closes.

Christina's style is

Empowering
Warm
Solution-oriented

Insurance carriers Christina accepts
