About Christina

She uses a narrative lens to help people reframe their stories and see patterns that keep them stuck. That work is paired with client-centered conversations that focus on what matters to each person.
Background and approach
Christina also draws on cognitive-behavioral strategies to help change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Christina trained at Regis University where she earned a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. She holds LPC credentials in Minnesota and brings a decade of counseling practice to each session.
Her background includes work with substance use and related concerns, and she includes coaching elements when it fits a client's goals. In sessions she keeps language plain and goals concrete. People can expect to talk about real situations and try small, manageable changes between meetings.
The focus is on practical steps that fit daily life and the client’s personal values. Christina helps people process grief, manage anger, improve communication, and cope with chronic pain or illness.

Approaches that translate to online counseling
Christina uses Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from the problems they face and rewrite how those problems fit into their life story. That approach is useful for trauma, long-standing patterns, and identity struggles. She blends Client-Centered Therapy which centers the client's goals and the therapist's listening. This helps people feel heard and steer their own progress. Christina also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focusing on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavior experiments to reduce anxiety and improve mood.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Christina will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and comfort with the methods. Sessions are shaped together so the plan evolves as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are helpful for face-to-face conversation and practicing skills. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging can support brief check-ins, coaching-style guidance, or step-by-step planning between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life and keep momentum between meetings.
