Therapy, but make it a vibe
Enneagram 9, occasional Over-sharer, classic middle child
Get to Know
With warmth, curiosity, and a judgment-free vibe, I create space to untangle the hard parts together.
On my first day as a counseling intern, I nervously asked a group of teens if they had any questions for me. One raised their hand and said, “What’s your sign?”
I told them I was a Leo and then immediately wondered if I’d overshared. Grad school taught me to stay neutral, but actually doing therapy has taught me something better: real connection happens when we show up as real people.
That’s exactly how I want therapy with me to feel, like two humans showing up exactly how we are. My sessions often include a lot of laughter, some swearing (because sometimes there just are no other words) and yes, sometimes some tears.
Messy, real humans are welcome here.
Fueled by Iced Coffee and Big Listener Energy
Outside the therapy office, you can find me with an iced oat milk latte in hand, trying out new coffee shops around the valley, dissecting the complicated family dynamics at play within the GIlmore GIrls family, or planning themed parties for my friends and family. Connection, creativity, humor, and quality time are all at the heart of who I am, and they’re deeply woven into the way I show up in the therapy room.

This isn’t a quick fix. But it is a deeply human process — one rooted in trust, honesty, and connection. Through the therapy relationship itself, new relational experiences become possible: experiences of being heard, understood, valued, and challenged with compassion.
My therapy philosophy:
healing happens in relationship.
My therapy philosophy:
"...an absolutely fantasic therapist"
"Thank you for your part in my journey. With your help, I have built a foundation of inner strength and outer resources that will carry me through the next steps on my path."
"Christina is an absolutely fantastic therapist. She is incredibly insigthful and has lots of suggestions that have helped me become my best self."
"I am so glad I found Christina. I hope to stay with her for a long time. She is kind, honest, and gets to the point. Very grateful."
