Bio story

About Christina

I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), completing my MEd in Counselling Psychology at the University of Toronto, and I hold an Honours BA in Psychology from York University. I am currently working under supervision as I move toward full registration with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO).

Before stepping into my role as a therapist, I primarily worked as an addictions and mental health support worker alongside many incredible women and their children. I have also worked with unhoused youth as a shelter support worker, and as a counsellor in a day program for adults living with developmental disabilities.

In my work in the mental health field, I’ve been fortunate to support many individuals and families as they navigate trauma, relationships, mental health challenges, addiction, societal pressures, and issues related to identity and self-esteem. I have worked with diverse populations, including 2SLGBTQIA+, Indigenous, disabled, sex worker, and unhoused communities. I also bring my own lived experience as a queer woman, which informs my work and deepens my commitment to identity-affirming care for all. These experiences have helped shape me into a trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, and holistic therapist.

My approach to therapy is compassionate, empowering, and grounded in the belief that healing takes root in connection, with ourselves, others, and the communities where we find belonging. I value connecting with clients from many walks of life and strive to honour each person’s unique identities, values, and sources of resilience. I believe every person already has within them what they need to heal. Together, we’ll create a space where your strengths, voice, and capacity to carve a path forward feel safe enough to flourish. Your authenticity will be held with care and met with my own.
