About Christina
Clients meet a calm, practical clinician who offers coaching-style support alongside talk therapy. She helps people build everyday tools for coping, make clearer decisions, and reduce patterns that get in the way of feeling well. Christina emphasizes strengths and small, steady steps toward change.
Her practice also focuses on areas such as ADHD, addictions, relationship concerns, and challenges tied to adoption, attachment, and blended family situations. She works with people dealing with chronic pain, illness, or disability and with those facing caregiver stress. Christina pays attention to how past family of origin issues and communication patterns influence current problems.
Christina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address trauma, dissociation, emptiness, and mood dysregulation symptoms like Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder (DMDD). She also supports clients coping with fertility concerns and first responder stress. Sessions aim to be practical and grounded in a person's day-to-day life.
She provides services in English and practices in Michigan. Her approach is straightforward: listen first, identify useful skills, and work together on goals that fit each person's life situation.

Step 3
How evidence-based techniques translate to online work
Christina draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and habits. One common approach helps people learn concrete coping skills for anxiety and depression, such as breaking problems into manageable steps and practicing short, targeted exercises to reduce overwhelm. Another approach addresses relationship and attachment concerns by identifying interaction patterns and rehearsing new ways to communicate and set boundaries.Finding the right approach is a shared process. Christina works with each person to match methods to their goals and daily demands. She listens to what is and isn’t working, then adjusts tools and pacing to fit the person’s needs and preferences.
Because session formats are not specified here, confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and offer continuity when life gets disrupted. It also allows shorter check-ins when schedules are tight and lets people choose what feels most manageable for regular work on goals.
