Hello! My name is Christina and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) located in New Jersey. I work with clients that are experiencing symptoms of Anxiety, Depression, Trauma/PTSD, and ADHD. I can help clients to learn and implement strategies to reduce their symptoms and improve their quality of daily life. I have both in person and virtual sessions available.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together, we will discuss the issues you would like to cover during your time in therapy. I will ask some background questions that will help me get to know more about you and discuss your current issues of concern. We will also discuss your goals for treatment that will help me to develop an individualized treatment plan for you.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

As a provider, I feel my biggest strength is to create a warm and inviting environment to help you as a client feel comfortable. I strive to create a safe and nonjudgmental space where you can open up about the issues you are experiencing.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults with various presenting issues. I currently work with adult clients, helping them with life transitions, setting boundaries, relationship issues, and developmental trauma.
