I love working with people and helping them "grow" through the things of life that they "go" through. A quote that I love to share with clients and live by personally is to remember not to focus on your purpose but to live your life purposely. As a military social worker my background is specific to first responders, but most importantly individuals that are learning their new "normal" after traumatic life events that have unexpectedly shaped them.
Hello and nice to "meet" you! I have been a licensed counselor since 2004 (SC #4579 and NC #22747). I earned a Master’s Degree in Rehabilitation Psychology and Counseling from UNC Chapel Hill in 1999. Early in my career, I focused my work with children, adolescents, and families, as well as adults. Since then, I have narrowed my focus to victims of trauma, First Responders, and those Depressive Disorders and Anxiety Disorders.
Hi, I’m Christina. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps teens, families, and adults navigate anxiety, trauma, and life’s high-stress seasons. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable, understood, and supported — a place where you don’t have to hold it all together or figure things out alone.
In addition to private practice, I work in community crisis response, supporting individuals and families during difficult or overwhelming situations. This experience helps me stay calm, practical, and focused on what truly helps when life feels heavy.

Life has been very stressful lately. I've spoken with hundreds of people recently who are feeling at least a little stressed or down. Most people I talk with wait a long time before getting into therapy. Why continue to wait? Do you want to have a better relationship with anxiety? Are your anxious or self-critical thoughts keeping you down? Are you ready to try something new? I use a holistic approach with several research-based interventions including CBT, Heart Math, and Solution-Focused Therapy,
I earned a Masters of Science in Clinical Counseling from Wright State University in 2007.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in North Carolina
Finding the right therapist in North Carolina starts with getting clear on what kind of care you need. Licensed therapists — including LPCs, LCSWs, LMFTs, and psychologists — provide talk therapy for concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and trauma. If you're looking for medication management, a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner may be the right fit. Many providers in North Carolina offer both virtual and in-person sessions, so you can choose the format that works best for your schedule and location.
With providers practicing across Charlotte, Raleigh-Durham, the Triad, Wilmington, and Asheville, narrowing your options can take time. Consider what matters most to you — a provider's specialty, their approach to therapy, or whether they're close to where you live or work. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their style and decide if they're a good match.
Therapy in North Carolina can be costly without insurance, but using in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and your out-of-pocket expense may be as low as $0 per session depending on your specific coverage.
