More about Christina

  • 22 years' experience
  • Female
  • LMFT

As a licensed therapist in California with over two decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals through complex life challenges. My approach is deeply compassionate and tailored to each client's unique journey. I focus on helping people navigate issues like depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, and personal growth.

My therapeutic work centers on creating a supportive environment where clients can explore self-love, improve communication, address isolation, and discover life purpose. I have extensive expertise in working with diverse challenges, including social anxiety, guilt, shame, panic disorders, and interpersonal dynamics.

I bring a Christian-informed perspective and understand the importance of matching clients with a therapist who respects their values and background. My goal is to provide empathetic, strength-based guidance that helps individuals develop resilience, heal from past experiences, and move toward meaningful personal transformation.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Christina is wonderful, kind, and caring. She starts our sessions with calming breaths and lets me dive into whatever I need. Highly recommend her!

Christina is very calm and understanding. I have felt very at ease talking with her from our first session. Her input is thoughtful and useful. I feel very heard with our sessions.

She is very supportive of me and is giving guidance

Christina is absolutely wonderful and I am so grateful that I better help connected me with her. She has expertise in every area that is important to me and beyond. This is my first time talking to some one about things that have been bottled up for years. I feel lighter and healthier and in a much better head space because of Christina. She is kind, empathetic, listens, cares, and speaks to some really important helpful and educational pieces when appropriate. She is just what I need to be the best version of myself (for my family and myself- the person I was forgetting about in the chaos of daily life :-) ). Grateful doesn't even begin to describe it and I can not recommend her enough!!

Christina has been such a blessing these past few months. Her ability to create such a warm and carefree environment is just what I needed for my own issues. I don’t feel like I need to filter my feelings during my sessions with her and she allows me to feel all my feels. Most of the time it feels like I’m sitting and talking with a very wise friend but there have been plenty of times when she knows exactly when to get deep and help me get to the root of things. I honestly cannot thank her enough. She has truly left a lasting impact on me. ❤️

Christina is like the friend that we all need and want. She is the type of person who just says exactly what needs to be said as she is seeing things. After all that's why so many of us are coming seeking for therapy right? to be heard? to be seen? understood? Christina is the person who does those things for me at least, it feels much less like im speaking to someone who is providing therapy, and more like a friend that i can send a text to whenever im down. thank you for everything you have done so far for me Christina, i have no doubt you will be a help to so many others, and i hope others get to share the same experience i am having

Christina has been such a huge help to me in just the last couple months that I've been working with her. She's a great listener, very supportive, and also very encouraging. I feel like I've made a lot of progress so far and I'm looking forward to continuing the work I'm doing with her. Better Help is also a great app compared to the other popular therapy app. It's pretty easy to use and also think you get more for your money. I mos def recommend!
