More about Christina

  • 4 years' experience
  • Female
  • LMFT

Ever since I was young, I knew I wanted to get into a career path that would make a difference in people’s lives. This interest led me to study psychology, Marriage and Family in particular, and eventually led to a full-time career. As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the Tampa Bay area, I am committed to the well-being of all my clients and go above and beyond to cater to their needs. This has led me to becoming Adoption Competency Certified, a Nurturing Parenting Facilitator, Trauma-Informed, and introduced to Infant Mental Health!

I truly care for all my clients and work diligently to help find them the answers they seek. Since 2016, I have worked with a variety of clients dealing with circumstances that are unique to their lives and continue to serve those in the community while continuing to remain knowledgeable of new approaches and tools that could be implemented for success!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

My experience on betterhelp and with Christina has definitely exceeded my expectations.

Christina is attentive, caring, patience, a great listener, and a great mentor. Her friendly demeanor makes me feel comfortable in expressing myself. I never feel judged and I always feel as if I am speaking with a close friend. She has guided me, challenged me, and shared great resources for me to use in between sessions. She responds quickly and holds me accountable in the ways that I need to grow or process the challenges I am facing. She has helped me in the areas of family therapy and as well as therapy for my teen daughter. I recommend her and I wish there were more therapists like her available.

Christina is friendly, experienced, and good at reading people and situations. I started my sessions with her so that I could sort out one thing that was haunting me regarding my relationships. However, after I got that part of my life sorted I decided to stay longer so that I could sort out all of the other things that were bothering me as well. Sometimes I'd go into a session not having prepared myself - however, she still always finds a way to make each session valuable. I'm confident that she has and will continue to help me improve my chances of someday finding + building up a meaningful relationship with someone and not ending up alone.

Christina has helped me greatly over the past year as my counselor! I'm so glad I've had her to help coach me through the small, big, good or bad in my life.

She is relatable, non judgemental, and easy to talk to. I genuinely look forward to our sessions every week!
