Background and approach
Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are applied when strong emotions feel overwhelming and people need tools to tolerate distress. Mindfulness techniques help clients notice the moment and reduce reactivity to stress. Christina also employs solution-focused strategies to set small, measurable goals and to build momentum quickly.
Trauma-focused work is available for people who need to process past events in ways that feel manageable and paced to their readiness. Her approach mixes these methods to match what each person needs at the time. Sessions typically include setting clear goals, practicing new skills in session, and assigning small tasks between meetings.
Christina emphasizes strengths and practical next steps rather than long explanations. This aims to help people see gradual progress and regain confidence in daily life. She supports concerns such as depression, ADHD, eating and body image difficulties, relationship strain, grief, anger, bipolar mood challenges, and broader coping with life changes.
The tone of her work is supportive and goal-oriented to help people move forward.
