Family Support Consultant | South Bay + Virtual
Calm starts with connection.
I provide personalized family consultation, support, and coordination to help bring calm to the chaos. We connect the dots between behavior, home, school, routines, and the supports already around your child—then break the big picture into practical, doable next steps that make everyday family life feel more manageable.
Meet Christina
Support that sees the whole picture.
With more than 25 years of experience across psychology, education, behavior support, school counseling, child advocacy, special education, and family support, I help families understand the whole picture—not just the behavior they see on the surface.
My approach is warm, practical, and collaborative. Think of me as an experienced Auntie, advocate, and translator in your corner—someone who can help make sense of the jargon, consider everyone’s perspective, organize the moving pieces, and turn big concerns into small, realistic next steps that work in real life.
My goal is to help families feel less overwhelmed, more connected, and more confident about what to do next.

Together, we identify what may be driving the challenges and create practical strategies for regulation, routines, communication, executive functioning, and school success.

Regulation, Routines & Executive Functioning

What Families Are Saying
Christina’s support has been instrumental. She has helped my family and me implement various behavior strategies with both of our children. She created behavior strategies/charts for our oldest son, which provided positive reinforcement. These strategies yielded great results and our son improved his behaviors.
After I had my second child, I was having difficulty with balancing caring for my own needs in addition to the needs of my children. Christina helped me see that I could take care of my needs as well as be there for my children, allow myself to relinquish control, and let my husband carry out some of the childcare needs as well. She helped me find balance.

About a year ago, I reached my breaking point and needed to find a new approach for my son. His anxiety was getting worse, his aggression was coming back, and we were constantly butting heads. Christina made it super easy on me as a full-time working, single parent and created a schedule that worked around mine.
Christina is so knowledgeable and her love for helping kids and parents really shows. She would check in between sessions, recap what we discussed, and give suggestions when I needed them. One activity she suggested was a vision board, and it was so helpful for me and my son to think about what his dream for the future is.
Christina is professional and easy to talk to. If you need parent coaching support, Christina is your go-to.

You don't have to figure it all out alone.
When you’re in the middle of challenging behavior, difficult routines, or ongoing school concerns, it can be hard to know what to try next.
Sometimes the first step is simply having someone listen, help you sort through the pieces, and show you what support could look like.
