Amazing therapist. Very lucky to have been paired with her. Has given me amazing insights and support.

Reviewed March 2022

Christiana does a great job of balancing listening and asking questions. She explores where thoughts or feelings are coming from in a sensitive, kind way. I love the Christian perspective she intertwines in our sessions which is exactly what I asked for.

More about Christiana

Thanks for taking the brave step in investing in yourself through therapy! Getting help can be intimidating and I specialize in helping people identify their goals, develop tools to overcome their barriers, and empower them to live their best lives! As a Christian, l incorporate biblically-based counseling as the model for my practice.

First I want to say I'm a real person just like you. I have a husband and a family, an obsession with baking and 90s television that I just can't shake. Life is full of storms and with the help of Jesus I hope to help you navigate. I specialize in marriage counseling because my own marriage was restored and I stand with standers.

Meeting together on a weekly basis is what I recommend at first so we can develop a road map to follow. I truly believe that no issue is too big or complex and I can't wait to help guide you towards healing and inner peace.

***Please note: at this time I am only accepting new clients utilizing the live message function. My video and phone sessions are fully booked at this time.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

I have only met with Christina once so far and think she is a perfect match for me. She was everything that I was hoping for and would highly recommend her. Looking forward to working more with her about my depression,, spiritual life, and struggles I’ve been having.
