Christina is absolutely awesome. She has a way about her that makes me feel safe and even on my worse days somehow she puts a smile on my face. She is externally understanding, caring, inspirational and very knowledgeable in her field. I look forward to every session with her. If there was a star rating asked 5 would not be high enough. I have had 3 therphists prior to Christina this year and she by far has been the most helpful and most understanding, supportive and has helped me through some extremely hard days. I love her!!!
