About Me
Meet Christina: Therapist | Social Worker | LMSW | CGP
Hi! I'm so happy you're here. :) I'm passionate about empowering individuals along their healing journey in improving self-awareness, increasing distress tolerance, and approaching the "self" with curiosity. Together we discover new ways to improve your overall health, wellbeing, and satisfaction. My hope for you is that you will wake up to a life you want to live. My ethos: Every individual has the ability to grow in self-awareness and self-acceptance with the appropriate supportive tools. You have a universe inside you!
I also have a specific passion for helping people improve and recover from chronic neuroplastic pain and symptoms. When the nature of the pain is neuroplastic, we approach the brain and nervous system through the mind body connection, not with medical interventions. Using evidence-based somatic therapies, we can attune and recalibrate a sense of safety in the body.
Please feel free to message me at sensingtheself@gmail.com or DM on Instagram @sensingtheself if you have any questions! I'd love to hear from you. Wishing you all the best, today and every day.
Meditation
Meditation is the cornerstone to retraining the brain and nervous system. Over time, you will not only learn how to recognize what a calm and grounded state is, you will be able to maintain this state for longer periods of time. Ultimately, present moment awareness in the mind and body is what regulates the nervous system. We learn to detach from our thoughts and simply observe them; this is how we reduce the anxiety and depression that comes from rumination and intrusive thoughts.
EEG Neurofeedback
This is a great way to monitor realtime brainwave activity and learn how to condition your brain, body, and nervous system to reduce neuroplastic pain symptoms.
