Great to meet you!

Hello, I’m Christina, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Illinois and a dedicated Narcissistic Abuse Treatment Clinician (NATC). With over 16 years of experience, I specialize in helping clients navigate toxic relationships, rebuild self-worth, and move forward with clarity and confidence.

I hold dual master’s degrees in Substance Abuse and Mental Health, reflecting my deep commitment to your healing and personal growth. Whether you're sorting through relationship challenges, struggling with anxiety or depression, managing ADHD, or seeking purpose and direction in life - I'm here to walk beside you as you discover your path to wellness.

My approach to therapy

My style is warm, conversational, and nonjudgmental. I offer individual therapy designed to meet you where you are —evenings, and weekends — because I believe healing should fit your life, not disrupt it.

Together, we’ll explore what’s keeping you stuck, uncover new possibilities, and gently challenge old patterns. You set the pace, and I provide the support. I treat each client with empathy and respect, honoring your story while helping you reclaim your narrative.

What you can expect from me

From our very first session, many clients share that they feel truly heard, sometimes for the first time in years. My priority is building trust and helping you feel safe enough to speak freely, without fear or shame.

You can expect practical tools, genuine connection, and a renewed sense of self. I believe each of us holds the answers we’re looking for — I simply help you uncover them.
