Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)
About Christina
I’m a licensed therapist in Illinois dedicated to supporting individuals through life’s most challenging moments. I work with clients navigating depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, and anger—helping you build resilience and find your way forward.
My approach is grounded in compassion and collaboration. I specialize in helping clients work through communication struggles, isolation, social anxiety, guilt, shame, and the complex emotions that often accompany major life transitions like divorce or separation. I’m experienced in supporting survivors of trauma, abuse, and sexual assault, as well as those working through attachment issues, codependency, and family-of-origin wounds.
I also focus on deeper work around self-love, body image, forgiveness, and control issues. Whether you’re managing panic attacks, posttraumatic stress, mood disorders, or self-harm, I’m here to help you process these experiences in a safe, nonjudgmental space.
I’m particularly committed to affirming and celebrating LGBTQ+ identities and experiences. I also welcome clients of all faith backgrounds, including those who are non-religious or secular.
My therapeutic style is person-centered and trauma-informed, drawing on evidence-based practices to support your unique healing journey. I believe in meeting you where you are and working together toward meaningful change at your own pace.
Taking the first step toward therapy takes courage, and I’m honored to walk alongside you.

What clients say

She reminds me that im still a good person for the issues i have and continues to enforce my ability to achieve my goals of being the man i want to be. Im very pleased with my experience with Christina.”

- “Christina is very thorough in getting to the bottom of your needs and wants out of therapy. She is a great listener and refers to and writes notes often. She has been able to give me so many tools to help with my anxiety that I have not gotten with previous therapists in the past. She’s also very fun and easy to talk to which is why I think it’s been a great experience with her.”
