My goal as a clinician is to offer a comfortable space for people to explore themselves without shame or judgement. By examining our patterns, strengths, limitations, and our history, we can learn to experience a felt sense of self-compassion. Through this process, many people get to the root of anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and self destructive behaviors.
I utilize evidence based modalities, and draw on the therapeutic relationship to assist others in their internal work. I work with men and women ranging from early adolescence to end of life. I work with individuals, couples, and families.
Primary Modalities:
Internal Family Systems (IFS), Compassionate Inquiry, Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Christina is a licensed clinical social worker and emotional intelligence coach with twenty years experience in the field. She loves working with people who want to grow and challenge themselves.
Her early years of practice were in community mental health where she saw people struggling with many different issues: depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, relationship issues, personality disorders, addictions and tough life transitions. It was in this setting that mindfulness became a key component in her work with clients.
Later she was recruited by St John’s hospital in Jackson, WY to work as the clinical social worker for their Hospice and Home Health department. The experiences she had working with people who are dying and their families were both humbling and inspirational. Supporting people in their grief is one of her specialties.
Today her private practice helps people to build self awareness and empathy so they may create healthier, happier and more effective lives and relationships.
