She works with adults who notice patterns from their families of origin that still affect their choices and emotions. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.
Christina uses straight talk and practical steps in sessions. She draws on client-centered listening to understand each person's priorities. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify thinking patterns that keep problems going. Solution-focused work is used when people want concrete changes and short-term goals.
Her training includes a master’s degree in Counseling and Guidance from Texas State University and a bachelor’s in Human Resource Management from the University of Texas. She has run private practices in Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio and has long experience working by video through counseling platforms.
In sessions she helps people name unhelpful family roles and experiment with new behaviors. Conversations often include practice exercises to try between meetings and clear steps for problem-solving. She pays attention to how work, parenting, and life changes interact with stress and self-esteem.
Outside of work she spends time with her daughter and grandsons. She has lived in Germany and traveled widely across the United States and Europe. People who want practical, experience-based support around family patterns and everyday struggles often choose to work with her.

It helps people clarify priorities and feel understood before trying new strategies.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and self-esteem by offering practical tools to change unhelpful thinking and build new habits.
Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, achievable goals. It is helpful when someone wants clear steps and quicker, measurable changes in day-to-day life.
Christina treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will work with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as needed over time.
