Very nice and straightforward. I feel very comfortable talking to her about anything I have on my mind and don’t worry about being met with a bad reaction. She offers constructive feedback as well as encourages outside views and different perspectives on everything. I look forward to therapy where as I used to avoid even signing up.

- LCSW
Whether you are feeling depressed, struggling with anxiety, or seem to choose dead-end relationships, I’m here to provide a safe space where we can work together on resolving your concerns.
I approach talk therapy with optimistic enthusiasm. I love working with clients who are facing transitions in their lives. It allows me to witness them overcome challenges and come out stronger on the other side. I’m a curious person by nature, so it’s a joy getting to know those I work with.
My strengths as a therapist include a non-judgmental attitude, strong empathy and insight, and experience with a wide variety of clients with all types of issues and challenges. My therapy approach is based primarily on cognitive behavioral principles. Of note, I have a professional interest in mixed (neurotypical/neurodivergent) relationships.
On the personal front, I have traveled extensively which has given me a broad perspective on how culture shapes our experiences and values. As a single parent, I know the pleasure and challenges of raising a (successful) child on my own.
In terms of education, I studied clinical social work at the University of South Florida and became licensed (LCSW) in 2004. I have worked in mental health for over 20 years, 7 of those in direct service with clients, in a variety of settings.
I look forward to meeting and working with you.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

She’s amazing! Very supportive and listens attentively
She’s amazing and very knowledgeable on most things, and always willing to help!
She is kind, helpful, and thoughtful. A true professional and my experience was stellar.
Such a great listener and remembers so much about you and helps you tackle your concerns head on
Christina is great! She is very understanding and kind and is a very good listener. She addresses your concerns and helps find solutions.
Christina is very attentive, responsive, supportive and sweet. I always feel like I’m venting to a friend. I stopped using betterhelp for a year but came back to it and messaged Christina again for assistance. She responded right away and made me feel happy to have someone like her to talk things out with.
She’s highly skilled, always listens and responds very kindly. She’s professional. Thank you Christina for doing what you do, please never stop helping others.
Christina is wonderful! She is easy to speak with and easy to open up to, she also is good at addressing concerns very quickly and managing time in appointments very well. I look forward to seeing her each week and sharing what has been going on in my life both past and present. I highly recommend her for anyone with past traumas, anxiety, or depression.
Very helpful
Amazing! Highly recommend
I really enjoy my time with Christy. She listens and gives me space to talk out my thoughts and feelings. I came to her seeking help with grief. She has helped me process that and so much more. I feel like I have a tool set with her that I didn't have before.
Really helpful and so happy I found here. Highly recommend!
Amazing. The perfect person to help me through my journey.
Christina has helped me deal with the hardest time of my life. She’s compassionate, allows me to lead the conversation, and addresses the concerns that I have. She’s been a great help in a time that I feel very uncertain about the future.
Christina really takes the time to understand your concerns and never is confused about your feelings! You will feel heard, understood, and certainly not alone when speaking with her. She genuinely is a kind person who will be able to help you greatly in your session!
Christie listens and is asks questions that help me think about the issues.
Christina is a very empathetic and great therapist. She made sure that I was heard, helped, and most importantly, helped me help myself so that I can feel confident in my journey. She also made a mental and physical note about my issues and checked in with me often which I appreciate greatly because I didn't feel alone and lost.
Christina is a great help to me! She offers me a lot of insight into my issues and will give me exercises and other resources to help me. She’s like chatting with a friend, very easy to talk to.
I have only had 2 sessions at this point, but things are going great. Whenever I send messages or share journal entries, she gives thoughtful feedback. This is my 4th attempt at therapy and thus far my most successful. She's not just telling me what to do, she's engaging with me as I navigate the process.
Very attentive supportive and understanding. She doesn’t judge and she is very professional. She also takes initiative in many ways. Great experience thus far.
So happy I found Christina !
Christina is great!
Christina is amazing. I feel like she not only hears me but sees me. I feel like she is the right person I needed to help me through my issues and trauma and I’m excited to keep working with her.
