PSYCHOTHERAPY
My therapy style incorporates neurobiology, positive psychology, mindfulness, dream work, and embodiment in a supportive yet structured space. Working together, we will identify and reduce obstacles that keep you from your mental health and wellbeing.
I am an EMDRIA-trained EMDR provider and offer trauma-informed interventions.
Speaking and Trainings
I enjoy sharing dynamic topics with professional groups on a variety of psychoeducational topics, especially those related to boosting wellbeing in the legal work place and fulfillment in one’s career. Having completed a “Train the Trainer” class, I strive to make adult learning fun and interactive.
Past presentations included “Making Partner…with your Nervous System”, “Wellness in the Practice of Law,” “The Emotional Cost of Lawyering,” “Mental Health Awareness: What to Know and How to Help” and “Neurobiology of Mindfulness.” I have spoken at national, regional, and state-level conferences.
Testimonials
It's not easy for me to verbalize my thoughts and emotions, but there's something about Christina's patience, empathy and presence that made it so easy to separate the "shoulds" from what my most authentic self truly wants. Her coaching is both powerful and practical. Thanks, Christina!
- C.M. (coach, trainer, and YouTuber)
Working with Christina provided me clarity and insight as I considered a life transition. Uncovering my values while working with her turned out to be much more helpful than I ever could have realized. I highly recommend Christina’s coaching if you are considering a transition or want a better understanding of your internal motivations.
-A.H. (medical professional)
Before working with Christina, I was wanting to leave my corporate job and start a coaching business, but I felt stuck. Christina held space for me to put a plan in place and get the courage to move forward. I am so grateful to Christina for her support through that transition. I am now loving my new career.

FAQs
What is the difference between therapy and life coaching?
Psychotherapy is a therapeutic relationship to treat clients’ mental health conditions, such as depression, anxiety, or substance use disorder and can only be provided by a licensed mental health professional regulated by a state licensing board. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), Texas License #67495 and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW), Minnesota License #33810.
My psychotherapist services are complimented and amplified by my coach training through the Human Potential Academy (HPA) and credential as an Associate Certified Coach (ACC) by the International Coaching Federation (ICF). My ACC credential, held by only 26,563 individuals worldwide as of 2023, demonstrates my commitment to complying with a coaching Code of Ethics as well as ongoing skill development through continuing coach education (CCEs).
