Christina is a Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate working under the supervision of Dr. Erika Johnson.
"While I often offer fresh perspectives, I always defer to you as the absolute expert on your own life. It is my joy to highlight your innate, sometimes hidden strengths to help you overcome both external challenges and internal wounds."
True healing requires a space imbued with deep understanding, respect, compassion, and a healthy touch of levity. Christina meets you exactly where you are, always respecting your readiness when delving into sensitive topics. She walks alongside her clients to help them work through boundary-setting, life-stage transitions, burnout, perfectionism, identity issues, and spiritual or religious difficulties.
Christina welcomes children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families (ages 7 and up) into her practice. With over 15 years of experience as a middle- and high-school math tutor, she possesses a rare, highly effective ability to break through to unmotivated or disengaged teens, helping them balance parent and peer relationships with confidence.
Advanced Couples & Family Care (Gottman & SYMBIS): Trained in the world-renowned Gottman Method and certified in SYMBIS (Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts), Christina takes an active, structured approach with couples. She helps you turn toward each other with accountability, compassion for past wounds, and renewed hope for a vibrant, connected relationship. For families, she helps reshape communication patterns to honor individual identity while strengthening your family bond.
Creative & Deeper Healing (Expressive Arts): In addition to blending Person-Centered and CBT techniques, Christina is trained in Expressive Arts Therapy. This gentle modality guides clients through accessing and safely expressing repressed thoughts or heavy emotions when traditional talk therapy alone feels stuck.
Faith-Integrated Counseling (Optional): For clients who wish to weave their spirituality into their healing journey, Christina is fully equipped to integrate your personal faith. She takes time to deeply understand your specific worldview and applies it exactly how you desire in your sessions.
