How it works
Where personal healing meets peaceful parenting.
As a trauma survivor and therapist, I believe in the transformative power of healing – both for ourselves and our children.
I help parents impacted by their own childhood trauma calm their nervous system and embrace self-compassion.
Through hypnotherapy and inner child work, I guide them in nurturing a loving, joyful environment that supports both their own healing and their children’s nervous system development.

Does this sound familiar?:
- Getting blindsided by those intense emotional waves when your kid is just being a kid
- Feeling your body go into full-on survival mode over everyday parenting moments
- Catching yourself repeating those old patterns from your own childhood
- Trying so hard to stay present but feeling pulled back into past trauma
- Wanting to create that peaceful home vibe but feeling stuck in fight/flight/freeze
First off – you’re not alone in this. Parenting with C-PTSD is really tough, and you’re doing the best you can with what you’ve got.
Here’s the thing about Complex PTSD – it’s like having your nervous system stuck in constant survival mode from childhood trauma. So when we’re trying to parent, those old trauma patterns can sneak up and hijack our responses before we even know what’s happening. But there’s hope, and I can help you find your way through this.
Together, we can:
- Get to know your body’s trauma signals (and what to do when they show up)
- Turn those tough moments into healing opportunities
- Help your nervous system experience safety and calmness
- Show up for your inner child while parenting your actual child
- Move from constant high alert to feeling more grounded
- Create those secure, loving bonds with your kids
- Break free from those old family patterns
Listen, your Complex PTSD is part of your story, but it doesn’t have to be your whole parenting story. We can work together to help you feel more like yourself and less like your trauma when you’re with your kids.
Testimonials
“I had been looking for a counselor for years that I felt I could connect with and could offer help that I needed. I finally found that in Christina. She has been understanding but also honest, I have learned a lot from her and I am grateful for her support. I would highly recommend Christina.“
“Christina really opened my eyes and showed me that even though I thought I was looking at things through every angle, there was always one more. She really helped me get through things I thought I was stuck with or that I couldn’t change about myself. I appreciate her and her helping my mentality so so much.”
“I think Christina has done a great job listening and helping me understand a traumatic experience I had many years ago. Now that I better understand this event. She is giving me the tools to deal with it. I would highly recommend Christina. She will listen and help you find what you don’t see.“
“I have been working with Christina over more than a year. She has been a huge help. I changed for the better because of her helps. She is a great listener and help me resolved issues with patience and kindness. I am very grateful and feeling extreme lucky to have Christina as my first therapist.“
“Surprised how well we got on, especially with it just being text sessions. If anything I feel the text sessions work better for me than video or audio as I don’t feel as guilty or as vulnerable opening up without actually saying the thing out loud. Brilliant counsellor and a great help“
“She has helped me so much in two sessions.”
