She approaches clinical work from a standpoint that emphasizes the client as the expert of their own story and the value of drawing on existing strengths to face difficult situations. She acknowledges that seeking change requires courage and she positions herself to support and empower people through that process.

Christina uses structured approaches that are adaptable to an online setting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and guides the client and clinician to develop practical strategies for change. Dialectical Behavior Therapy contributes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness in day-to-day life.
Mindfulness Therapy is used alongside other methods to cultivate present-moment awareness and grounding skills for stress and anxiety. When appropriate, elements from solution-focused and trauma-focused work help clarify goals and address painful historical events in ways that proceed at a pace the client finds manageable. Sessions are collaborative, with therapist and client deciding together which techniques fit the client’s concerns and goals.
Remote appointments are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing for flexible ways to communicate and work through the chosen therapeutic strategies.
