LMFT, 15 years of experience
At times, life presents us with challenges that are too difficult to face alone. While some people turn to family and friends for support, others may find themselves without anyone. The fear of judgment and understanding can prevent many from obtaining the support they need. My passion for therapy lies in the opportunity to work with a diverse range of individuals and learn about their unique experiences. Each person's story is different, and being able to support them through their journey is incredibly rewarding. I appreciate the chance to witness their growth and resilience as they navigate their challenges. While each approach is tailored to the individual, I utilize a blend of therapeutic techniques that include inner child work, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and supportive therapy. Together, we explore how past experiences shape the present and develop strategies to navigate life’s challenges. I’m here to offer a judgment-free zone where you can express yourself openly. My aim is to provide a space where your thoughts and feelings can be acknowledged and reflected upon. Together, we can explore insights that may not be apparent to you on your own. Let’s work together to find the best path forward for your situation.
During our first session, we will focus on building a strong therapeutic relationship founded on trust, respect, and understanding. I will listen attentively to your story, concerns, and goals, ensuring that you feel heard and validated. Together, we will begin to identify the key areas you wish to address and create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs and aspirations.
The treatment approach will be tailored to what is most comfortable and effective for each individual. I offer both short- and long-term treatment, currently focusing on psychodynamic therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). My specialties include trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, and anxiety. I also integrate elements of solution-focused and person-centered therapy to best support each client's needs.
My biggest strengths are empathy and desire to provide support to those in need. I enjoy being able to support others in working through their struggles in order to live their most fulfilled life.
I would like to focus on higher functioning adults ages 18 and above seeking support for daily life struggles, anxiety, depression, life changes, etc. At this time, I am not accepting couples.

I like that I really feel heard and this time helps me as a check and balance of my overall feelings! I feel like I used to deal with a lot of depression, and now I’m finding healthy ways to not get so deep on down on myself.

I feel truly seen and understood by Cristina. I've learned a lot about myself throughout my therapy journey with her. I know everyone connects differently with therapists, but she's genuinely great and definitely worth a try.
