I am a caring therapist who supports adults eager to engage actively in their mental health and personal growth. I specialize in adult ADHD and also work with anxiety, life transitions, and work-related stress, using evidence-based methods to foster emotional regulation, enhance self-esteem, and encourage follow-through. I deeply value consistency, accountability, and warm, thoughtful engagement in therapy. My approach is best suited for clients who are motivated to develop new skills, reflect honestly, and create meaningful, lasting change.
Our first session explores your reasons for therapy, goals, and changes. We'll review your history, stressors, and how ADHD shows in daily life and past strategies. I'll explain my approach and expectations. The supportive, collaborative session is most effective when you're honest, engaged, and complete paperwork. Therapy works best with consistency, openness, and practicing new skills outside sessions.
I use a structured, skills-based method tailored for ADHD, with a calm, supportive approach. I help clients break down overwhelming thoughts, tasks, and emotions using evidence-based techniques like CBT, DBT, and mindfulness. My sessions aim to improve insight, focus, and follow-through. Clients often gain clarity, develop practical systems aligned with their needs, and increase confidence in managing ADHD, work, and life changes.
My ideal client is an adult with ADHD (diagnosed or still figuring it out), or navigating anxiety, life transitions, work stress, self-esteem concerns, or women's issues- someone who's ready to take an active role in their own growth. You might feel stuck between what you know you're capable of and what you're actually able to execute day to day, or maybe life's handed you a big transition and you want support making sense of it rather than white-knuckling through alone. You don't need to have it all figured out before we start. I work best with clients who are curious about their own patterns, open to structure, and willing to try new tools between sessions- people who want a therapist who sees them as capable, not a problem to fix.

I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to assist you in recognizing the thought patterns that contribute to anxiety, self-criticism, or the shame associated with ADHD, and to substitute them with more constructive ways of thinking that genuinely support your well-being.
I use DBT skills to help you manage intense emotions and distress without judging yourself, especially if ADHD or trauma makes emotional reactivity overwhelming.
I use ACT to help you stop fighting the parts of yourself you can't control- like an ADHD brain- and instead get clear on what matters most to you, so your energy goes toward the life you actually want.
I incorporate mindfulness to help you build a pause between impulse and action- useful for ADHD-related impulsivity and for grounding when anxiety feels like too much.
Trauma-informed care underlies everything I do- I move at your pace, and I stay attentive to how past experiences show up in the present, including the body's response to stress.

I love working with Christina. I feel heard and safe when talking with her and opening up about my issues and feel I have made a lot of progress working with her.

She is a brilliant therapist—deeply empathetic and creates a safe space for you to share. As someone who values intellect she won’t let you hide behind old defense and survival mechanisms that no longer serve you which is exactly what you want for a breakthrough!

Christina Sanders has not only helped me find the courage and strength to heal from everything that happened to me before we worked together, she has also gotten me through many trials and tribulations as I was her client. She taught me things about myself that I always knew but never had the words for. She has a good sense of humor and a liberationist approach to therapy.
