I have a relational treatment approach which means that the relationship that develops between you and me is what facilitates change. You can expect me to be somewhat casual and very approachable. I use humor and compassion to create connection. We will freely exchange ideas, and talk about experiences and the things that are in the way of positive relationships. We will make sense of your experiences and create more stability and satisfaction in all of your relationships. Making sense of complicated circumstances is my specialty. Let’s sort out your most difficult situations together.

I have a relational treatment approach which means that the relationship that develops between you and me is what facilitates change.

First session

The first session is the time for us to begin our relationship. Since it is the relationship that develops between me and you that is the most important factor in a satisfying therapy experience, I make this our primary focus right away. This is done through talking about your goals for therapy, past experiences with therapy, and really whatever comes to mind. I am very skilled at weaving therapeutic relevance in whatever you bring.

Strengths

I have deep belief in the human spirit and in the transformative power of connection. I have a varied professional and personal background that allows me to relate to my clients on many dimensions. I have worked in education, sales, the military and business development. I have been married, divorced, and widowed. I have co-parented and been a step-parent. I use the depth of these experiences to enhance my clinical work.

Ideal clients

I love working with clients who have worked extremely hard to achieve their goals and find themselves burnt out. My clients not only find ways to resolve their burn out but often thrive in ways they never thought possible.

Treatment methods

Humanistic

Clients of Joya Sagrada Therapy experience a deeply empathetic approach to care, emphasizing an unwavering commitment to hearing the often muted or misunderstood voices of pain and struggle, offering support that is as compassionate as it is comprehensive. It’s about creating a space where every individual feels seen and heard, where suffering is met with kindness, and where every effort is made to light the way toward hope and healing. This approach is grounded in a holistic and compassionate understanding of human needs and behaviors.

Christin consistently offers me space to not only show my true self but also to challenge myself to improve. She is understanding, intelligent and compassionate. I would not be the person I am today without her guidance and care.

Christin has been a support through a wide array of life transitions and personal challenges for me. Our therapeutic work has evolved consistently as a powerful component of my mental health care. I appreciate her authenticity, her humor, and her holistic approach to our work together. I always leave our sessions with a new reflection or idea I want to explore. Our work together is a testament to how therapy can be an essential pillar of wellbeing.
