I’m a Black male therapist in my 30s who is passionate about helping individuals and couples navigate anxiety, relationships, identity, and life transitions. I strive to create a supportive, non-judgmental space where clients feel seen, heard, and respected. My approach is collaborative and practical, drawing from evidence-based methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy while honoring each person’s unique experiences, culture, and strengths. I’m a therapist who believes therapy should feel like a space where you can be honest, understood, and supported without judgment. My approach is warm, collaborative, and focused on helping clients better understand themselves while developing practical tools to navigate relationships, emotions, identity, life transitions, and personal growth. Through my practice, I work with individuals, couples, and families who may be struggling with anxiety, self-esteem, communication, relationship challenges, emotional regulation, or simply trying to figure out their next chapter. I meet each client where they are and recognize that no two people have the same story or path to healing.
My goal is not to tell you who you should be, but to help you better understand who you are, what you need, and who you want to become. Therapy is a place for growth not just when life feels difficult, but also when you’re ready to build on the progress you’ve already made.

As a licensed clinician, I typically work with young adults who are looking to overcome past traumas, going through life transitions, or are seeking help in learning to cope with daily stressors. I also thoroughly enjoying helping people find connections between past experiences and current life circumstances to help prevent repeating negative patterns. My work usually involves discussing any history of complex emotional trauma, identifying and challenging negative beliefs, and connecting with different parts of ourselves that play a role in how we think and how we interact with others and the world around us. I'm always open to talk therapy for people who are looking to vent about stressors and discuss ways to move forward.

I am a seasoned therapist who believes that real change happens in the space where insight meets emotional safety. I bring depth, honesty, and steadiness into the room, helping people understand the patterns that shape their relationships, self-worth, and responses to stress and loss. My approach integrates psychodynamic understanding, interpersonal awareness, and practical tools so that insight does not remain abstract but translates into meaningful change. I offer a grounded, non-judgmental presence where difficult emotions can be explored without shame, and I work collaboratively with clients to strengthen autonomy, clarity, and resilience.

For the past 17 years, I have had the privilege of helping people navigate the complicated, messy, and often deeply meaningful work of understanding themselves. I believe therapy can be a place to slow down-to step outside of the noise and begin taking a more examined look at your life, your patterns, your relationships and the choices you've been making. My approach is grounded in the belief that our minds and nervous system are constantly trying to protect us. Many of the patterns that can leave us feeling stuck, anxious, disconnected or overwhelmed once served an important purpose. I am interested in helping you understand why these patterns developed, what they may be trying to communicate and whether they still serve you in the life you're living now. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS) and mindfulness practices. I don't believe there is one right way to do therapy, so our work will be collaborative and tailored to you.

Great to meet you!
I want you to know that when you come into therapy with me, you don’t have to pretend, minimize, or hold everything together. You get to show up exactly as you are — we take it from there together. My favorite part of this work has always been sitting with people one‐on‐one. That’s where real connection and real healing happen. I genuinely enjoy getting to know who you are, what you’ve been carrying, and what you’re hoping might feel different.
My style is warm, steady, and honest. I listen closely, ask thoughtful questions, and help you understand the experiences and patterns that are shaping your life. I’m also practical — I like to offer tools and strategies you can actually use in your day‐to‐day life, not just in the therapy room. I work with people dealing with anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, major transitions, and substance use concerns. Something I tell clients often is this: I don’t want you to just feel better — I want you to be well. Feeling better can be temporary. Being well means building insight, healing, and lasting change.
When you work with me, you get someone who shows up fully — present, steady, honest, and genuinely invested in your well‐being. I’m not here to give you quick fixes or surface‐level advice. I’m here to help you understand yourself more deeply, heal what’s been ignored or pushed aside, and build a life that feels more grounded and true to who you are. My style is warm, direct, and deeply human. I listen for the things underneath your words — the patterns, the pain points, the strengths you might not yet see. I’ll challenge you gently, support you consistently, and help you make sense of what’s been getting in the way.

I create a safe and nonjudgmental space for my clients to explore and process through self-reflection. I have an obligation to help my clients find their inner strengths and empower them to improve their own lives. Life can feel overwhelming at times, and while resilience matters, there are moments when extra support can make a meaningful difference. I work with individuals who feel stuck in unhelpful patterns and are looking for guidance, insight, and practical tools to move forward. In therapy, I help clients build healthy coping skills, strengthen self-esteem, and navigate life transitions. My approach focuses on increasing awareness of thoughts and emotions to better understand challenges and develop effective, lasting solutions. I specialize in working with anxiety, relationship challenges, and substance abuse/misuse.

Hi, I’m Christina. As an LCSW with 25 years of experience, I’ve learned two things: human beings are incredibly resilient, and absolutely nobody has it entirely figured out.
My approach is a mix of deep compassion, straight-shooting honesty, and a healthy dose of humor—because if we can't laugh at the chaos of life sometimes, what are we even doing? I’ve heard almost everything, I don't shock easily, and I leave the preachy, stuffy therapist vibes at the door.
Ultimately, I’m just a human who loves helping other humans untangle the messy, beautiful parts of life without any judgment. Think of me as a guide with a massive toolkit, a finely tuned intuition, and a genuine appreciation for your unique story.
I look forward to meeting and working with you!"

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.
