Together, we’ll turn overwhelm into clarity, build practical coping tools, and help you navigate life’s challenges with greater confidence.

 

warning sign Disclaimer: My office furniture and Zoom link have a way of making people cry. That’s why I like to sprinkle in some humor—sometimes laughter is the best therapy.

Why Therapy?

Understanding yourself is the first step toward shaping your path. Therapy offers a safe, confidential space to explore how family history, life experiences, and inherited patterns may be influencing your relationships, emotions, and choices today.Together, we can identify unhelpful cycles, build healthier ways of coping, and create a path that feels truly your own.

Ready to understand yourself better and take charge of your life? Contact me today.

Checking in with yourself is just as important as eating well or getting enough sleep.

As a bilingual licensed mental health counselor, I provide individual therapy and parenting coaching with warmth, creativity, and a touch of humor. Together, we'll deepen self-understanding, strengthen emotional well-being, and help you become a more intentional participant in your own life.

What my Clients have to Say

“Cristina is wonderful in every sense of the word. She is attentive, sensitive, and very insightful!! She helps me make connections and shift my perspective, in ways that are both profound and light. She would recommend her to anyone without hesitation.”

M.S. (mid 20's)

“Cristina helped us shift our perspectives as parents… we went from thinking that we totally knew are children, to being more curious about who they really are and what they really need… This mindset shift has been so helpful for empowering them!”

N.F. and P.F. (parents of 3 children)

“Cristina was my therapist throughout my pregnancy and post-partum journey. She made me feel at ease talking about my fears and what was involved in becoming a new parent. I felt so much more prepared to care for my baby and open to dealing with the positives and the negatives of this new stage.”

S.G. (early 30’s)

“Cristina was key throughout my separation and divorce phase. She provided me with well-needed emotional support and helped me trust and love myself!”

“I finally found someone normal who I could talk to! Cristina is such a knowledgeable, authentic, and warm therapist. She goes deep… but manages to make me laugh too.”

“Cristina has been the only person who really connected with the not-so-amazing side of the college experience and my broken hearts… She helped me gain the self-confidence I needed and find balance in my life.”
