I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who believes that therapy should be a safe space where you can be honest, feel heard, and work through life challenges without fear of judgement. My approach is warm, compassionate, and practical. I do not believe in simply telling clients what to do; I believe in meeting them where they are, helping them understand themselves and their experiences.

Have you tried therapy before and walked away feeling misunderstood? Have you worried that you wouldn't be able to share everything about yourself in session, fearing judgement? When we don’t fit the norms around us, it’s pretty easy for anxiety and depression to wreak havoc on our mental health and self-esteem, making it more difficult to feel comfortable enough to be vulnerable.
Having struggled with alienation myself, I’ve gravitated to helping people who experience this too. Although this can be something anyone goes through, I often find myself supporting people who are neurodiverse, LGBQTA+, ethically nonmonogamous, those with “alternative” faiths, and teens. In addition to supporting specific identities, I help people reduce their stress and anxiety, adjust to uncomfortable changes, climb out of depression, and build the confidence, insight, and judgment they need to improve themselves to impact their life.
I pride myself on creating a safe, comfortable environment where you can express yourself freely, so we both learn more about who you are and what you need.
Whether we work together or not, I'm really glad you're taking the time to consider therapy and care for yourself <3

I decided to be a counselor because I understood the importance of someone who looks like me doing this work. My goal is to create an open and affirming space for everyone including, Black bodies, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and those creating healthy non-traditional relationships. Anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and trauma are common issues that can impact your day to day lives and close relationships no matter your background. By the end of therapy, you will be more confident in speaking up for yourself and creating healthy boundaries. I utilize a strength-based approach that combines different therapeutic modalities that address generational trauma, negative self-talk, and strategies to improve your mood. I tend to tailor treatment to each individual to fit who they are and their needs.

Are you struggling with a difficult life situation? Are you looking for lasting and meaningful change? I’d like to provide you with a supportive space to deal with what is occurring in your life. Dealing with the stresses and challenges of everyday life can be hard, and when you add in relationship issues, anxiety or depression, or personal struggles – it can be overwhelming.

I will encourage you to be kind to your body and mind as you work to solve your problems. I am a firm believer in the mind-body connection. My clients are encouraged to be diligent about routine medical care, and I often consult with healthcare workers and fitness experts to gain insight and knowledge for my clients. When you feel better about yourself, you can feel more optimistic about the future.
Taking the first step to sign up for therapy takes courage and I am proud of you for getting started. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I enjoy helping people and truly believe that every individual deserves to lead a happy, fulfilling life. Let’s work together!

I am an LPC who is best positioned to serve children, adolescents, adults, and families who are experiencing emotional, behavioral, and relational challenges, particularly those involved in high-stress systems. I have extensive experience working with trauma-exposed youth, parenting stress, and complex family dynamics, I am well equipped to support clients who may feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or resistant to traditional therapy approaches. I am especially effective with individuals and families who benefit from structured, skills-based interventions combined with a strengths-focused and practical approach. My clinical style allows me to meet clients where they are, build trust quickly, and provide meaningful support that promotes stability, resilience, and lasting change.

I specialize in working with women and LGBTQ+ adults who are ready to stop repeating the same relationship patterns and start building a healthier relationship with themselves.
You may find yourself questioning your worth, losing yourself in relationships or friendships, struggling to trust your own decisions, or feeling stuck in patterns you know no longer serve you. Together, we'll explore where those patterns began, strengthen your self-trust, and create lasting change rooted in emotional safety and self-respect.
My approach integrates attachment-informed, trauma-focused, and evidence-based therapy with practical tools that support meaningful change beyond our sessions. I believe healing involves the whole person, recognizing the impact of relationships, trauma, nervous system regulation, physical health, and life transitions on emotional wellbeing.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Sex Therapist, I also support clients navigating intimacy, sexuality, sexual trauma, religious shame, relationship transitions, and recovery from intimate partner violence.

Life can be overwhelming, messy, and genuinely hard sometimes—and that’s completely okay. However, that doesn't mean it has to remain that way. For nearly a decade, I’ve supported adults navigating anxiety, trauma, and relationship struggles, helping them feel more grounded, confident, and connected in their lives.
While working together, we’ll slow things down to truly understand what you’re going through, explore what matters most to you, and discover practical, realistic ways to move forward. I'm not here to tell you what to do, but to work with you by listening, offering options, and supporting you as you work through challenges and build a life that feels more manageable, meaningful, and true to who you are.
I bring warmth, compassion, and even some humor into the process, because healing doesn’t have to feel heavy all the time.

Hi, I’m Christina, and I believe therapy works best when it feels real, human, and—sometimes—a little humorous. I use a trauma-informed and narrative approach to help clients make sense of their stories and find new ways to move forward. My style is compassionate, down-to-earth, and collaborative; I view therapy as a space where you can safely explore the aspects of your past that still resonate today, while also discovering your resilience and inner strength.
Outside of sessions, you can usually find me hiking a trail, catching a good movie, or spending time with my son. I also enjoy yoga, a good burger, and shopping for spooky things. I bring that same curiosity, creativity, and authenticity into my work with clients.

What happens during the first therapy session?
What happens during the first therapy session?
Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
