Life is too short to stay stuck in behaviors, relationships, and patterns that detract rather than enhance our lives. At some point in all of our lives, we are likely to find ourselves stagnant and in need of a change, unsure which direction to go in a time of transition, or just dissatisfied and maybe not even sure why. It can be difficult to know where and how to begin the journey to change and growth. Or even to know what you want that change to be right now. If this resonates with you, know ...
Do you struggle with anxiety or feeling disconnected from yourself? Do you hope that life could feel more connected, fulfilling, and aligned with who you are?

Pursuing higher education—whether starting college, returning after time away, or continuing into graduate school—can be exciting and rewarding. However, it can also bring stress, uncertainty, and moments of self-doubt. Balancing academic expectations, relationships, and personal well-being isn’t easy, and many students feel pressure to manage it all on their own. At Christina Cares Counseling, LLC, I provide a compassionate, supportive space for adults navigating the unique challenges of col...
Before launching my clinical private practice, I worked at New York University’s on-campus mental health center, the Wellness Exchange, where I had the privilege of supporting undergraduate and graduate students through a wide range of challenges. My work there gave me direct insight into the unique pressures and transitions that come with college life—academic stress, anxiety, depression, identity development, dating & relationship struggles, and navigating independence for the first time. I al...
