Great to meet you!

Hello, I'm Cristina. I help people who struggle with high functioning anxiety, people-pleasing, and constant overthinking, even when they appear to have things together on the outside. I also work with those who find themselves questioning their relationships, struggling to set boundaries, or navigating major life transitions such as new relationships, marriage, or becoming a parent.

As a bilingual therapist, I work with teens, young adults, and adults who want to better understand the patterns shaping their anxiety, relationships, and sense of self. Together, we focus on building stronger self-awareness, clearer boundaries, and greater confidence in your decisions so you can move forward with more clarity and self-trust.

My approach to therapy

I practice from a psychodynamic framework, which emphasizes self-awareness and insight. Rather than focusing only on symptom relief, we work to understand the underlying emotional conflicts and relational patterns that contribute to distress. By identifying these unconscious dynamics, you can gain clarity, increase emotional freedom, and create lasting change.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, we will explore what brings you to therapy and what feels most important to address right now. I will ask thoughtful questions to understand your history, relationships, and any patterns that may be contributing to where you feel stuck. You will have space to share openly at a pace that feels manageable for you.

We will also clarify your goals and begin identifying a direction for our work together. By the end of the session, you should have a clearer sense of how I work and whether the fit feels aligned for your growth.
