What my clients say

Christina helped me regain my confidence and self-esteem after many years of struggling with self-doubt, toxic relationships, and being overly critical of myself. She is a fantastic therapist who never made me feel like a patient or a number. Throughout our time working together, I always felt like Christina saw me, understood me and genuinely cared about my well-being and my progress. At a time when I was going through so much, working with Christina felt like a guiding light. I have a renewed confidence in myself, feel comfortable to set boundaries with others, and finally trust myself to do what is right for me. Thank-you so much, Christina.

What are the different types of therapy?
keyboard_arrow_down

In our work together, I’ll use a combination of evidence-based therapeutic methods that have proven success in helping individuals facing complex challenges. These approaches are tailored to meet your specific goals and improve your quality of life. If you prefer a specific type of therapy, we can incorporate it into your personalized plan. Here’s an overview of the therapies I may use to support you:
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) CBT is a well-established, evidence-based approach that helps people address a wide range of mental health issues. It’s based on the idea that our thoughts, beliefs, emotions, and actions are all interconnected. In therapy, we’ll work together to identify patterns in your thinking and behaviors, and adjust them with new coping strategies. By building flexible thinking and implementing practical tools, CBT can help you achieve your goals and improve overall well-being.
Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT)DBT is an evidence-based approach particularly helpful for individuals with complex emotional challenges. It focuses on helping you manage intense emotions and improve relationships. Through DBT, you’ll learn essential skills like mindfulness, emotional regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance—tools that help you handle life’s challenges more effectively and create healthier patterns in your emotional and social life.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)ACT is a powerful therapy that teaches you how to accept difficult emotions and move forward despite discomfort. By learning to observe your emotions without judgment, you’ll be able to commit to meaningful behavioral changes aligned with your values. ACT empowers you to face life’s challenges with clarity and resilience, allowing you to live in a way that is true to your authentic self.
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)CPT is a specific form of CBT that helps you challenge unhelpful thoughts and beliefs related to past trauma. It’s a highly effective treatment for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and what’s unique about CPT is that you don’t need to retell your traumatic experiences to heal. We’ll work together to help you process the impact of the trauma on your thoughts and beliefs, allowing you to move forward with a clearer, healthier perspective.
Motivational Interviewing (MI)Motivational Interviewing is a compassionate, goal-oriented therapy that helps you explore your motivations for change. Through collaborative conversations, we’ll identify what truly matters to you, uncover your personal reasons for making change, and strengthen your commitment to reaching your goals. MI is a great approach for those struggling with ambivalence or looking to make lasting behavioural changes.
Mindfulness Mindfulness is the practice of tuning into the present moment with awareness and without judgment. Whether through formal meditation or integrating mindfulness into daily life, this practice helps reduce stress, improve emotional regulation, and foster self-compassion. In therapy, mindfulness can be a powerful tool to help you find peace in the present moment and cultivate a sense of ease and acceptance in your everyday experiences.
Yoga Therapy Yoga Therapy blends the physical benefits of yoga with therapeutic techniques to support both your body and mind. Through breathwork, movement, and mindfulness, yoga therapy helps calm the nervous system, improve emotional regulation, and deepen your connection to the present moment. It’s particularly effective for those dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma, or chronic pain, helping you foster balance, resilience, and a greater sense of well-being.

What is a 'trauma-informed' psychology practice?
keyboard_arrow_down

As a trauma-informed psychologist, I understand that trauma affects every part of your life—your emotions, your thoughts, your body, and your relationships. Trauma can result from a single event or be the result of ongoing experiences, and its impact can extend to individuals, minority groups, and even entire communities. In our work together, my top priority is creating a safe, supportive space where you feel seen, heard, and respected, without fear of re-traumatization.
I approach every client with compassion and validation, recognizing the importance of your unique experiences. We’ll explore how trauma may show up in your life—whether it’s through anxiety, difficulty managing emotions, challenges with trust, or physical responses—and I’ll provide psychoeducation to help you understand the emotional, psychological, and physical reactions that often accompany traumatic experiences.
With this trauma-informed approach, my goal is to empower you in your healing journey, helping you develop resilience and move forward with a sense of strength and hope. Together, we’ll work toward healing, growth, and reclaiming your sense of well-being.

What type of therapy is best for me?
keyboard_arrow_down

In our initial consultation and throughout our work together, we’ll focus on understanding your unique needs and goals. We will regularly check in to ensure that therapy is helping you make progress and that each session feels beneficial. To best support your growth, we may incorporate different therapeutic techniques, choosing the ones that best fit where you are in your journey. Together, we’ll find the right approach to help you achieve lasting change and emotional well-being.

How long will I be in therapy?
keyboard_arrow_down

Many clients find that even one session with a supportive, non-judgmental psychologist can provide immediate relief and improve their well-being. The length of therapy depends on your unique goals and the challenges you're facing. For some, effective therapy may take anywhere from 5 to 12 sessions, while others may need longer, especially if working through deeper or more complex issues.
For individuals dealing with C-PTSD or PTSD, Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) is often considered a first-line treatment. CPT typically involves a commitment of 12 weekly sessions, designed to help you process and challenge the trauma-related thoughts and beliefs that impact your life. Together, we’ll regularly assess your progress and adjust the therapy plan to ensure you're receiving the support you need for lasting change.

What happens during the first session?
keyboard_arrow_down

The first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and establish a foundation of trust. I’ll ask you about your background, what led you to seek support, and what has or hasn’t been working for you. We’ll also discuss your goals and what you’re hoping to achieve from therapy.
This is a space where you can feel heard, understood, and respected. My goal is to create a trusting, empathetic, and non-judgmental environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings and begin making meaningful changes. Together, we’ll work to improve your life in ways that might feel challenging right now, but are entirely possible with the right support.

What are the costs for working with you? What is your cancellation fee?
