Christina is a recent transplant to the Edmonton area.  She moved here from West Virginia, where she earned a Master’s degree in Counselling from West Virginia University.  Prior to that, she had lived in Kentucky for several years, earning a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Asbury College.

For the past 14 years, Christina has enjoyed working with children, youth, and their families in a variety of settings from church youth groups to residential care programs to outpatient therapeutic programs.  Most recently, she spent 6 years as a school counsellor in West Virginia, where she helped students and their families with academic, social, and emotional issues. 
Christina uses play therapy, Impact Therapy, and social skills techniques when working with children and youth individually and in groups.  She has provided training to children and adults on such topics as self-esteem, decision-making, bullying, divorce, grief, crisis intervention, and career exploration.

Christina is passionate about helping people discover their true potential.  Over the past year, she was involved in her church’s inception of a Stephen Ministry program; which trains lay people to be caregivers to others.  She is excited about beginning a new chapter of her career in the Edmonton area and working with people of all ages and life stages.
