Hello, my name is Christina and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor located in Killeen, Texas. I have a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Sociology from Drury University. I received my Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Texas A&M University-Central Texas. I also have a certificate in Chemical Dependency and Addiction. I grew up as a military dependant (Army Brat) and later became a military spouse. I am familiar with military culture and the stresses that being in the military can put on those individuals who are serving plus their families. Growing up in a diverse military culture has helped me to be an open-minded, non-judgmental, compassionate, patient, and trauma-informed therapist. I also believe that everyone can benefit from counseling because sometimes life just gets too hard and we need a safe space to retreat, relax and regroup. I have worked with many individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, addiction, and trauma. I would love to help you to navigate through your struggles as well.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session together we will get to know one another and begin establishing a therapeutic relationship. I believe it is important to provide a warm, supportive, judgment free environment that clients can relax and be themselves in. I also believe relationship building is important for the counseling work to start. I am a client-centered therapist which means I will follow your lead because I believe that you are the expert in your life.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I have a positive outlook on life and I enjoy helping others find the positive in their lives. My biggest strengths are listening, being warm, bringing calm, understanding, validation, and empowerment. In addition, I strive to work together to navigate the difficult terrain of your mental health concerns, to reach your goals of well-being. I am empathetic and supportive so clients feel empowered to explore their feelings, develop self-esteem and heal from their trauma. Healing is a process and worth the work.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
Life can be difficult and I am a safe place to come to discuss issues that bring anxiety and depression. I feel like the clients I am best positioned to serve are those searching for new coping skills to help with dealing with daily stressors. I work with clients struggling with trauma and addiction as well.
Eclectic
I pull from several modalities to help my clients in their healing process.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
I believe it is important to meet the clients where they are in the process of change.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is used to combat negative or irrational thoughts with cognitive restructuring. CBT focuses on the present problems and how to solve them.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
Solution focused is used to stay in the present and find resolve for issues clients are experiencing now.

Christina was a recommendation from a long time friend that has been going to her for years. Christina is approachable, warm, authentic and empowering. I can see that when I’ve brought up a topic, she is looking for a solution to help me through it. I look forward to my sessions with her each week. I am so grateful to have her as my therapist.
