Testimonials

“Christina’s approach is both empathetic and empowering. Her goal is to unleash the uniqueness in a child, and her structured approach with SRSD enables her student to internalize a mantra of success. She brings a warm, positive energy and ability to believe in and perceive my son’s voice and gifts. She has shown us her own gift for helping him evolve from negative self-talk to positive self-talk. The cooperative way in which she teaches has bolstered my son’s self-initiative, self-confidence and self-mastery in his writing. As my son put it, “Christina has been really helpful. Even when you’re in a bad mood, she can turn it around.” As a parent, I have deeply appreciated her partnership in helping my son express himself and evolve as a whole person.”
