Hi, I’m Christina. I'm a Licensed Graduate Professional Counselor in Washington, D.C., with a background in crisis intervention and outpatient mental health therapy. I work with teens, young adults, and adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and emotional overwhelm. My experience has taught me that everyone's story is unique and how much courage it takes to sit with difficult emotions.

In our work together, you can expect a therapeutic style that is warm, steady, and relational. I take a person-centered approach and spend time building trust so you never feel rushed, judged or reduced to a diagnosis. I integrate CBT, DBT-informed techniques, and other evidence-based tools to help you understand patterns, manage intense emotions, and develop long lasting coping skills. Clients often describe therapy with me as grounding and collaborative, with a blend of curiosity, gentle humor, and direct insight that makes the process feel supportive and meaningful.

I believe therapy works best when it adapts to you. Whether you're navigating identity changes, academic or career pressure, self-harm, trauma responses, or feelings of not being “enough", we'll work together to make sense of what you’re carrying, build confidence, and identify a path forward. My goal is to help you move toward meaningful, sustainable growth at a pace that feels right for you.
