Welcome to Graceful Self-Help Counseling
Compassionate telehealth psychotherapy for adults, couples, and families, along with separate non-clinical wellness coaching, educational resources, and supportive wellness services.

Marriage and Family Therapy Associate
Psychotherapy provided under clinical supervision.
A Space for Healing, Growth & Connection
Graceful Self-Help Counseling was created to provide a calm, supportive, and emotionally safe space for healing, connection, reflection, and personal growth.
Christina's approach is warm, trauma-informed, collaborative, relational, and grounded in the belief that meaningful change is more possible when people feel genuinely heard, understood, and supported.
Graceful is a telehealth-focused practice. For psychotherapy, clients must be physically located at the time of each session in a jurisdiction where Christina is legally authorized to provide professional services.
Two Different Ways to Work With Graceful
Graceful Self-Help Counseling offers professional psychotherapy as well as separate non-clinical wellness coaching. The two services have different purposes, scopes, documentation, and professional boundaries.

Psychotherapy may include clinical assessment, diagnosis when appropriate, treatment planning, and treatment of mental health, emotional, relational, or family concerns. Psychotherapy is provided under clinical supervision.
🌿 Wellness Coaching
Wellness coaching is non-clinical, educational, supportive, and goal-focused. It does not include psychotherapy, diagnosis, clinical assessment, or treatment of a mental health condition.
