Hello and welcome to the profile! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist practicing in the beautiful state of California. I graduated in 2016 with a Master of Science in Counseling/Marriage, Family, and Child Therapy. My training background includes work with children and teens. Three years ago I started working with adult clients, which I have enjoyed as I have gotten to support young adults and adults; this has given me the opportunity to expand my practice. In my work with clients, I provide dedicated support for those navigating the symptom management of anxiety and depression. I also specialize in guiding individuals through significant life transitions—whether planned or unexpected—helping them process the uncertainty that comes with change. Additionally, I am committed to supporting those working through trauma, providing a safe, compassionate space to process past experiences and build resilience for the future.

The human experience is unique, and the path to living the life you want begins with exploring how your thoughts, feelings, and experiences impact your life. Our therapeutic alliance creates opportunities to learn adaptive coping mechanisms to better challenge and confront stressors, process painful experiences, and empower you to live a values-based life. I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and seniors from multicultural and diverse backgrounds. My areas of specialty and expertise include but are not limited to: Dual Diagnoses, Psychosis, Substance Use, Mood Disorders, Anxiety Disorders, Autism Spectrum, Military Life and Trauma, PTSD, Anger Management, Infertility, Postpartum Depression, Grief and Loss, Relationship Issues, Domestic Violence, Sexual Trauma, and Major Life Transitions. Each therapy is different and has its own approach, so we will collaborate and find the best fit for your needs. Some of the modalities I utilize include Jungian Therapy, Parts work (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Art Therapy, and Sand Tray Therapy to deal with stressors, improve self-worth, build resiliency, and assist you in maximizing your potential. I welcome the opportunity to support you on your journey, which honors your experience, and creates healing.

Hi my name is Cristina, my pro nouns are she/her. I went to two private institutions and graduated with my masters of science in Clinical Psychology. While In grad school I had the privilege of working with children in inpatient pediatric mental health for two years at CHOC Children's Hospital of Orange County. Shortly after I began working in residential addiction treatment with adults at AKUA in Newport Beach for another two years. While at AKUA I graduated from grad school and left to focus my attention in private practice where I currently center LGBTQ+ and POC clients and allies.

I believe that our creative and determined psyche allows us to “make it through” whatever life throws our way. We develop ideals, patterns, behaviors, and ways of thinking about the world, ourselves, and others. These things that at one point were meant to be protective and preserve us can overtime unknowingly to us be the very thing that gets in our way preventing us from living the life we ultimately desire. It can manifest itself in ways such as feeling frustrated with ourselves, self hate, feeling stuck, disconnected from our body, or even frozen with anxiety, depression, and maybe suicidal thoughts.

Trauma can live quietly in the body—held in the breath, the muscles, and the nervous system. You may experience intrusive memories, nightmares, or flashbacks; avoid people or places that feel unsafe; carry fear, guilt, or shame; or feel constantly on edge, tense, or hypervigilant. Your responses are protective patterns shaped by past experiences not signs of weakness.

Life is filled with transitions, both exciting and challenging. During these times, we often need guidance and support.

Hi, I'm Aviva, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Life can become difficult when stress, burnout, relationship problems, body image concerns, or past experiences begin to affect your daily life. Sometimes people seek therapy because they are exhausted from trying to manage everything on their own. I believe in working together to create solutions that will give a different perspective or a way to break patterns that no longer work for them. I have experience with patterns that no longer suit you and have learned methods to work through them.
