Hello and Welcome!

My name is Christina, and I'm a licensed therapist dedicated to supporting individuals on their journey towards mental and emotional well-being.

I believe that therapy is a collaborative process where we work together to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a safe and nonjudgmental space. My approach is rooted in empathy, compassion, and respect for each person's unique background and perspective.

I specialize in working with those struggling with anxiety disorders and obsessive compulsive disorder. While those areas are my specialty, I also have extensive experience in treating a wide range of challenges, including substance abuse disorders, depression, trauma, relationship issues, self exploration, and life transitions. Whether you're seeking support for specific issues or simply looking to gain a deeper understanding of yourself, I'm here to help.

In our sessions, you can expect a warm and supportive environment where you can freely express yourself and explore your concerns. I integrate various therapeutic techniques, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, inference-based cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based approaches, acceptance and commitment therapy, trauma informed practices, exposure therapy, and person centered approaches.

“I believe in the power of therapy to foster growth, resilience, and positive change. Together, we can work towards building a more fulfilling and meaningful life.”

My Background

 I am Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor. I received my Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Georgian Court University and have been working in the mental health field for over a decade.

Prior to working in private practice, I have experienced working in a variety of settings including inpatient rehabs, partial hospitalization programs (PHP), intensive outpatient therapy (IOP), outpatient community mental health centers for co-occurring disorders, methadone clinics, and group practices. Throughout my career, I have provided individual, family, and group services.

I also have significant experience in crisis intervention and worked in emergency rooms as a psychiatric screener.

 In addition to my passion for working in clinical settings with clients, I have also worked as a program coordinator in an IOP and an assistant director of clinical operations in a group practice. In these roles, I was able to train and supervise other clinicians as well as assess program needs for improved clinical outcomes.

I have received my supervision certification for both mental health and addictions. I have provided supervision services to newly licensed clinicians and facilitated in their growth to become independent clinicians.

Throughout my career I have always been motivated to seek trainings to continue enhancing my therapeutic skills. I have knowledge and/or formal training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT), Exposure Response and Prevention Therapy (ExRP), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

Continuing to enhance my skills as a therapist is important to me, in order to better serve the clients that I work with. I integrate various therapeutic techniques and my eclectic approach to therapy is collaborative and tailored to meet your individual needs and goals.
