Anxiety
Anxiety can take many forms, from generalized worry and stress to social anxiety, panic attacks, and phobias. Christina works with clients to identify the sources of their anxiety and develop tools to manage overwhelming thoughts and physical symptoms. Her approach combines evidence-based strategies to reduce stress, improve focus, and empower clients to regain control of their lives.
Trauma & Abuse
Experiencing trauma or abuse can deeply impact one's mental health, self-worth, and relationships. Christina provides a safe, non-judgmental space for clients to explore and process these experiences at their own pace. She uses trauma-informed therapies that allow clients to heal from past wounds, build resilience, and create a sense of safety and self-compassion in their lives.
Coping with Addiction
Addiction can feel like an all-consuming challenge, affecting every part of a person’s life. Christina helps clients identify underlying emotional triggers, create healthier coping mechanisms, and work toward long-term recovery. She supports individuals through relapse prevention, accountability, and the development of life skills that nurture a fulfilling, sober lifestyle.
Depression
Depression can leave individuals feeling drained, hopeless, and disconnected from life. Christina offers compassionate, practical support for clients experiencing depression, helping them understand the root causes and find personalized ways to manage symptoms. By incorporating mindfulness and cognitive-behavioral techniques, she assists clients in rediscovering motivation, joy, and self-compassion.
Obsessions
Obsessions, often associated with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), involve recurring, unwanted thoughts or fears that can be distressing and difficult to manage. Christina uses structured, evidence-based approaches, such as exposure and response prevention (ERP), to help clients confront and reduce these obsessive thoughts. Her goal is to empower clients to regain a sense of freedom and peace in their daily lives.
Personality Disorders
Personality disorders can create challenges in managing emotions, relationships, and one’s sense of self. Christina provides tailored therapeutic support to individuals with personality disorders, helping them understand their patterns and work toward healthier behaviors. Her approach is compassionate, focusing on building insight, resilience, and tools for managing emotions and relationships effectively.
Mood Disorders
Mood disorders, including bipolar disorder, can create significant highs and lows, impacting daily life and relationships. Christina assists clients in understanding their mood patterns and developing strategies to achieve stability. Through therapy, clients learn tools to manage mood swings, enhance self-awareness, and build routines that support emotional well-being.
Eating and Food-Related Issues
Eating and food-related issues, such as disordered eating or struggles with body image, can deeply affect self-esteem and quality of life. Christina works with clients to explore the emotional roots of these issues and develop a balanced, healthy relationship with food and their bodies. Her compassionate approach emphasizes self-acceptance, mindfulness, and sustainable habits for lasting change.
Client-Centered Therapy
Client-Centered Therapy, also known as Person-Centered Therapy, is grounded in the belief that clients are the experts in their own lives. Christina approaches each session with empathy, active listening, and unconditional positive regard, creating a safe space where clients feel heard and respected. This non-directive style encourages clients to explore their feelings openly, build self-confidence, and uncover solutions that align with their values and goals.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT is a structured, evidence-based approach focused on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to distress. Christina uses CBT to help clients recognize harmful beliefs, challenge irrational thoughts, and develop practical coping strategies. This approach is particularly effective for managing anxiety, depression, and mood disorders, empowering clients to regain control over their thoughts and emotions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Originally developed for individuals with borderline personality disorder, DBT has since proven effective for a wide range of mental health concerns, especially those involving intense emotions. Christina incorporates DBT to help clients build skills in mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. This structured approach is ideal for clients who want to manage overwhelming emotions and build healthier relationships.
Mindfulness Therapy
Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes living in the present moment, cultivating awareness, and accepting one’s thoughts and feelings without judgment. Christina integrates mindfulness practices to help clients reduce stress, enhance self-awareness, and improve emotional regulation. By teaching clients to focus on the here and now, Christina supports them in breaking free from worry about the past or future, promoting a greater sense of inner peace and resilience.
Solution-Focused Therapy
Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes identifying and building on clients’ strengths rather than focusing on problems. Christina guides clients to envision their preferred future, set achievable goals, and recognize what’s already working in their lives. This approach is practical and goal-oriented, helping clients move forward quickly by focusing on actionable steps and the progress they’re making.
Motivational Interviewing
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a collaborative approach designed to help clients find the internal motivation to make positive changes. Christina uses MI to work with clients who may feel ambivalent about change, particularly in areas like addiction recovery or lifestyle modifications. Through open-ended questions and reflective listening, Christina helps clients explore their own reasons for change and build confidence in their ability to take meaningful steps forward.
Trauma-Focused Therapy
Trauma-Focused Therapy is specifically designed to help individuals process and heal from traumatic experiences. Christina provides a safe, empathetic space for clients to explore the impact of trauma on their lives. Using techniques from evidence-based therapies, she helps clients process difficult memories, reduce trauma-related symptoms, and build resilience. This approach is highly supportive for clients who want to heal from past trauma and reclaim a sense of safety and self-worth.
Narrative Therapy
Narrative Therapy views clients as the authors of their own life stories. Christina uses this approach to help clients explore how they perceive their lives and identify any limiting or negative narratives. By reshaping these narratives, clients can gain a new perspective on their experiences and develop a sense of empowerment and agency. This modality is particularly helpful for clients dealing with trauma, low self-esteem, and identity-related issues.
