Great to meet you!

You may be managing work, relationships, or everyday responsibilities while internally feeling anxious, overwhelmed, stuck in your thoughts, or unsure how to communicate what you need. I work primarily with adults navigating anxiety, depression, relationship stress, overthinking, people-pleasing, boundaries, and major life transitions.

I’m Cristina, a bilingual therapist (English/Spanish) and Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with over 16 years of experience. I provide a warm, supportive space where you can better understand the patterns keeping you stuck, feel more confident expressing your needs, and develop healthier ways of relating to yourself and others.

My approach to therapy

My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical. Therapy with me involves more than simply talking about what happened during the week. Together, we will look at patterns in your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and responses to stress, including how past experiences may be influencing what is happening in your life today.

I draw from cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, mindfulness-based, and trauma-informed approaches, adapting therapy to your needs, values, culture, and goals. I will support you while also asking thoughtful questions, helping you notice patterns, and identifying practical ways to create meaningful change.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is an opportunity for me to understand what has been happening, what feels difficult right now, and what you would like to be different. I’ll ask about relevant experiences, relationships, strengths, stressors, and ways you have been coping, while allowing you to share at a pace that feels comfortable.

Together, we will begin identifying goals and deciding what may be most helpful moving forward. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard and understood, with a clearer sense of what we can work on together.
