A Thoughtful, Relationship-Centered Approach

Christa believes therapy is most effective when clients feel safe, respected, and deeply understood. She approaches her work with empathy and intention, helping clients explore their internal world while also examining how relationships, past experiences, and current stressors shape their emotional lives.

Her style is collaborative and reflective, allowing clients to build insight while developing practical tools for change. Christa works at a pace that feels comfortable and attuned, meeting clients where they are rather than rushing the process.

  • Anxiety and chronic stress

  • Depression and emotional heaviness

  • Marriage counseling and relationship challenges

  • Life transitions and identity shifts

  • Family dynamics and interpersonal conflict

  • Self-esteem and emotional regulation

She works with clients who may feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward, helping them build clarity, resilience, and healthier ways of relating to themselves and others.

Therapeutic Tools & Modalities

Christa draws from evidence-based and relationally focused approaches, including:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

  • Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

  • Attachment-based therapy

  • Trauma-informed care

  • Systems-oriented and relational frameworks

Her work emphasizes emotional awareness, secure connection, and understanding how early and current relationships influence present-day experiences.

Who Christa Works Best With

Christa often works with thoughtful, self-reflective individuals and couples who want more than symptom relief — they want deeper understanding and lasting change. Many of her clients are navigating complex relationships, major life decisions, or emotional patterns that feel difficult to break.

If you find yourself asking questions like:
Why do I keep feeling this way? Why do these patterns repeat? How can I feel more connected and grounded?
Christa provides the space and guidance to explore those questions with care and intention.
