• Christina supports parents and children through child-led play approaches (CPP) as well as directive approaches (PCIT, Theraplay) to support reduction in behavioral symptoms and increase attachment and connection.

• Combination of individual and parent sessions to support insight and skill development.
• As a Registered Play Therapy, Christina utilizes play and expressive interventions to support processing, healing, and empowerment.

• Not all children present the same, and some may have challenges with focus, engagement, verbal communication, among other symptoms. Christina utilizes DIRFloortime, a child-led play-based approach, to support children meet their mental health and developmental needs.

• Collaboration, parent sessions, family sessions, and psychoeducation.
• Christina supports parents through Circle of Security (COS) psychoeducation sessions, co-parenting sessions, and more.

When a child is struggling in childcare or school, Christina is able to communicate and meet with school administration and teachers as well as directly observe the child in these environments. This serves to better inform how to support the child in therapy as well as to help in providing recommendations to parents and schools to better meet the needs of the child.

Assessment, history gathering, and observations (in all important environments) to help create a child's unique brain map, particularly for those who have experienced trauma, which may have impacted brain functioning (e.g., child engages in ways that seem younger than their chronological age). The clinical summary and brain map describe the child's current brain functioning and developmental needs. Recommendations are made for interventions and services to best meet the child's needs, supporting cognitive and developmental growth as well as decreasing maladaptive behavioral symptoms.
