About Christina
She listens first, then adapts conversations and plans to fit each person's needs. Sessions are intended to be collaborative, with clear goals and concrete steps you can try between meetings. Christina helps people work through issues like abandonment, communication problems, control struggles, and difficulties at work.
Clients also bring concerns about midlife transitions, finding purpose, and feelings of isolation or low self-worth. Christina addresses panic and anxiety symptoms, as well as the lingering effects of trauma and abuse. She supports people dealing with divorce, guilt, shame, and challenges around forgiveness.
Her approach emphasizes practical tools alongside emotional support. That may include building new daily routines, practicing ways to handle triggers, and strengthening self-compassion. Christina encourages small, manageable changes that add up over time.
Starting therapy involves a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling based on availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and pricing varies with region and therapist availability. She provides services in English and does not accept international clients.

Evidence-based approaches for midlife and major life changes
Christina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change and emotional processing. One commonly used approach helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and try new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and depression. Another approach focuses on processing past hurt and trauma so that symptoms like panic, shame, or avoidance become easier to manage.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christina will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and then test different methods together. The process is collaborative, with adjustments made as needs and circumstances change.
Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time and allowing appointments during a lunch break or between obligations. It can also make shorter check-ins possible when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can help clients use online sessions to practice skills, track progress, and apply tools in real time to everyday challenges.
