TRANSFORM HEARTACHE INTO A LIFE YOU LOVE.
Stop repeating what was done to you. Start giving yourself and your kids what you never got.
If your relationships don't feel good, the rest of your life probably doesn't either.
You are here because you’re in survival mode — struggling to feel safe, connected, and at peace within yourself and in your relationships.
You want closeness, but deep down, there’s a fear that people will reject, betray, or leave you — no matter how hard you try to be good, to stay calm, to do things “right.”
Maybe you don’t feel like a priority to your partner. You feel lonely, even when you're not alone
You second-guess yourself constantly — wondering if you are the problem.
You’re stuck in patterns that repeat — conflict, silence, withdrawal, chasing, shutdown — and even when things seem okay, you’re bracing for the other shoe to drop.
You may be carrying the aftermath of betrayals or attachment wounds from long ago — or from more recent events, like infidelity. Whether you’ve been dismissed, criticized, abandoned, or overpowered, these relational injuries live on in the body and nervous system.
Your emotions feel like a rollercoaster — sometimes waves of grief, rage, or panic crash down unexpectedly. Other times, you’re numb, disconnected, like you’re watching your life from the outside.
People call you “too sensitive,” “too intense,” or “emotionally unavailable” — but those labels miss the point.
You’ve been called narcissist, selfish, overly controlling, critical or judgmental. You act like it doesn’t bother you but deep down you feel confused, insecure, and lonely.
You might not even realize how much you’re holding — but your body does. The chronic tension, restlessness, tightness in your chest, the exhaustion that never quite lifts — it’s all part of the weight you’ve been carrying alone for too long.
Whether you’re seeking to reset painful relationship dynamics or to heal your internal attachment system so you can feel safe in yourself…You’re in the right place.
Perhaps YOU ARE HERE BECAUSE:
You're not in immediate crisis—you’re functioning and steady, but there’s a quiet sense that something’s off or missing. Maybe you’re just looking for a bit more clarity—or a spark to feel more alive. Maybe you want to better understand yourself, your feelings, and your true desires. You want to feel whole and live a vibrant life.
Hi, I’m Christina. I’m so glad you’re here.
Imagine therapy as a place where you can finally exhale — a space where all parts of you are welcome, and healing becomes possible.
I work with adults and couples who carry the weight of relational trauma, attachment wounds, and patterns that feel stuck. Whether you’re navigating high-conflict relationships, struggling to trust, or feeling disconnected from your own worth, I can help.
My approach is experiential, compassionate, and rooted in the belief that change happens in relationship — with a trusted other, and within yourself.
Together, we’ll gently explore what’s beneath the surface: the parts of you that have had to perform, protect, or disappear in order to survive. We'll help those parts feel seen, soften defenses, and build new ways of relating that feel grounded, authentic, and whole.
I bring tools from Relational Life Therapy, Gestalt, and Psychodrama to support deeper integration, nervous system healing, and emotional connection — both in your inner world and your relationships.
If you’re ready to stop surviving and start living in alignment with who you truly are — I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
I’m here to help with all of life’s relationships.

You feel chronically resentful, tired, worried, confused, and deeply disconnected.You don’t have to keep feeling stuck. And you are not broken.
I am here to help you break free from negative cycles, rebuild trust, and strengthen your relational health!

Complex trauma isn’t just an event—it’s an internal wound that shapes how you think, feel, and move through the world.
Maybe you know it’s there. Maybe you’re still figuring it out. Either way, trauma leaves an imprint on your nervous system, keeping you stuck in patterns like perfectionism, people-pleasing, escapism, and emotional numbness, addictions, emotional volatility making it hard to truly connect. Together, we’ll gently uncover and process what’s holding you back, using a safe, evidence-based approaches that honor your pace and your healing.
-
You wake up with the sense of dread, that your world is not okay. And it leaves you feeling constantly on edge and off balance.
Or perhaps there is this silent, overwhelming sense of your ‘ badness.’ You might feel a lack of motivation, sadness, or emptiness, and it can be hard to find a spark in things you once enjoyed, even though nothing specific might be wrong.
I get it. And I will walk by your side so we can get you out of this misery together.
