Christina has been really helpful as a counselor. She’s direct, asks good questions and provides helpful resources for follow up. I’ve noticed really tangible improvements both in my self awareness and the way I advocate for myself since starting therapy with Christina.

Christina have helped me so much over the last few weeks. I learned new tools, new way of looking at things and am currently working on things that I've been ignoring (or did not pay attention to) for so many years. So thankful for Christina!
