Hi, I'm Christa! I’m an Associate Clinical Social Worker working toward full licensure, and I’m passionate about helping people feel more empowered and supported in their mental health journey. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from the University of Southern California and have since gained experience primarily in school-based settings, working with children and teens ages 4 to 17.

Through that work, I’ve seen firsthand that therapy can make a difference at every stage of life. That’s why I enjoy working with children (4+), teens, and adults. I pull from evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT, and mindfulness to support clients in reducing symptoms of depression, managing anger, building self-esteem, and creating lasting change. I meet people where they’re at—with compassion, curiosity, and a commitment to their goals.

A little about me: Outside of therapy, I enjoy staying active—whether that’s running, hiking, going to the gym, or walking my dog. I also practice what I preach by incorporating mindfulness into my own life through meditation and yoga. You can often find me enjoying time with family, shopping, or sipping on my morning coffee.
