Christina graduated from the University of Northern Iowa in 2026 with a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. She also has her Bachelor’s in English and Creative Writing from the University of Iowa. Christina is a temporary licensed Mental Health Counselor (t-LMHC) in Iowa.

Christina believes that there is no issue too big or too small to bring to therapy. She enjoys and prioritizes fostering authentic and genuine therapeutic relationships with her clients. Christina often uses humor and a gentle non-judgmental approach, combining elements of person-centered and narrative therapies to help clients make sense and meaning out of their struggles and strengths. Christina enjoys implementing her creative writing background into her sessions, often utilizing metaphor and imagery to help her clients conceptualize the qualities of life that can be hard to put into words.
