Meet Christa
You don't have to have it all figured out to begin.
I know how exhausting it is to look like you're holding it together while your inner world is falling apart. My work is warm, direct, and rooted in the belief that you don't have to earn rest, softness, or being taken seriously.
Together we'll make sense of the anxiety loops, the old stories, the body stuff, and the parts of your identity you're still figuring out, at your pace.
More about me →What we work on
You're not "too much." You've just been carrying too much alone.
Depression & self-esteem
Feeling flat, foggy, or like you're not enough, even when things look fine.
Trauma & religious trauma
Untangling the beliefs and experiences you didn't choose to carry.
Life transitions & relationships
Big moves, breakups, identity shifts, and everything in between.
How it works
Therapy from your couch, your car, your dorm, wherever feels safe.
