About Christena
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience supporting individuals through life transitions, stress, anxiety, grief, emotional overwhelm, relationship challenges, trauma-related concerns, and personal growth. My background includes hospital, behavioral health, home health, hospice, case management, and community-based care, which has shaped my ability to support people from a whole-person perspective. My therapeutic style is warm, compassionate, collaborative, and grounded. I believe therapy should feel like a safe space where you can be honest, feel heard, and begin to reconnect with yourself without judgment. I often integrate mindfulness, nervous system awareness, strengths-based support, cognitive behavioral strategies, emotional regulation tools, and reflective conversation to help clients build clarity, confidence, and healthier coping patterns. I understand that healing is not one-size-fits-all. Some sessions may focus on processing emotions, while others may focus on practical tools, boundaries, communication, self-worth, or creating a plan for moving forward. My goal is to meet you where you are and support you in building a life that feels more peaceful, intentional, and aligned. I especially enjoy working with people who are navigating burnout, major life changes, identity exploration, relationship stress, caregiving stress, grief, and the pressure of always having to “hold it together.” Together, we can create space for healing, self-understanding, and meaningful change. Taking the first step toward therapy can feel vulnerable, but you do not have to figure everything out alone. I would be honored to support you on your journey. Read more Show less
