Hey there! I'm Christina, and I am an LPC in CT, PA, and DE. I am passionate about supporting my clients using an integrative, creative, and holistic approach by providing a safe and non-judgmental environment for them, taking into consideration the connection between the mind and body, as well as the environment to create a collaborative, person-centered intervention to build resilience. I incorporate mindfulness, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, person-centered, Logotherapy, and Psychodynamic theory in my therapeutic approach. I am fluent in English, Mandarin, and conversational Malay and Bahasa Indonesia. As an immigrant, a first-generation college student, and a former international student, I focus on supporting and counseling the immigrant population, the young adult population, the international students, and the BIPOC population. I specialize in parenting issues, family conflicts, identity exploration, and addiction. I am influenced by cross-cultural and multicultural philosophy in my counseling approach. I have worked in corporate settings, higher ed organizations, non-profit community addiction clinics, government entities, private practices, and rehab centers throughout my career. At this time, I continue to create and deliver workshops and seminars at different organizations, higher ed, research centers, and my community. Finding balance to thrive in different stages of our lives can be challenging. Even though changes can be exciting and positive, they can also push us outside of our comfort zone and our window of tolerance. It is important for us to learn to have patience and self-compassion for ourselves while we navigate these challenging times and hold ourselves accountable for our decisions. We will work together to find that balance for you so that you can thrive instead of just surviving.
