It's Nice to Meet You.

Hi, I’m Christina – and I’m so glad you’re here.

​

A little about me...

​

  • A must have for me… Authenticity, a sense of humor, and a safe space where you can be fully yourself.
     

  • I love  traveling, floating around in a pool, sunsets on the beach and working with my flower garden. 
     

  • I have a superpower of seeing patterns others miss, helping people feel understood and giving them confidence! 
     

  • The favorite part of my day is seeing clients make positive strides toward their goals
     

  • What most people don't know about me is...I enjoy refinishing old furniture and giving it new life!
     

  • I appreciate humor—even in hard moments—and believe laughter can be healing.
     

  • When you’re in a session with me, you will feel heard, supported, and gently challenged in ways that promote real growth.
     

  • I just love it when clients start trusting themselves again.

Why I Became a Counselor.

I became a counselor because I have a deep passion for walking alongside others in their healing journeys. I believe that with the right support, everyone can grow, heal, and create a life filled with peace and purpose. I’m here to hold space for you—without judgment—and to help you build self-confidence, resilience, and a renewed sense of self.​​​

As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with over 25 years of experience in the mental health field and more than 14 years as a licensed clinician, I specialize in helping teens, young adults, and women find clarity, confidence, and emotional well-being. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, or simply feeling stuck, I offer a safe and supportive space where you can grow and thrive.

​

I hold a Master’s in Professional Counseling and a Bachelor’s in Psychology from Liberty University. I am licensed in the state of New Jersey and certified in Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT). I stay committed to ongoing learning, always reading, researching, and staying up to date with the latest therapeutic approaches so I can bring fresh, effective strategies into our sessions.

 

In 2015, I opened Kaplan Counseling in Sewell, NJ, after years of working in group practices and outpatient hospital settings. Starting my own practice has allowed me to focus on the areas I care most deeply about—supporting women and young people during pivotal times in their lives.

What You Can Expect.

When you work with me, you’ll find a compassionate, down-to-earth counselor who truly meets you where you are. I’ll walk alongside you with encouragement, insight, and gentle challenge—supporting you as you step into your most authentic and empowered self.

​

I take a warm, client-centered approach, drawing from cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, and faith-based support. Each session is personalized to meet your unique needs, and together, we’ll work toward meaningful, lasting change. You can expect a blend of empathetic listening, practical tools, and thoughtful insight to help you move forward with strength and purpose.

​

I’d be honored to support you on your path to healing and growth. I look forward to hearing your story.

Outside of work...

​​I’m a wife, a proud mom to two amazing adult children, and a woman of faith. I love spending quality time with my family, decorating my home, cooking, and finding great deals while shopping! You can often find me in the garden, on a walk in nature, or on my Peloton. Lately, I’ve enjoyed exploring new hobbies like refinishing furniture and painting—creative outlets that keep me feeling grounded and inspired.

Let's Work Together.
