Hi there, I'm Cristina!

I specialize in treating trauma using evidence-based modalities such as EMDR. I approach mental health holistically, exploring mind, body, and spirit to address healing. I work collaboratively with you to create goals and explore necessary areas of healing.

My focus

I primarily work with adults struggling with various mental health symptoms that may be a result of trauma.

My approach

While I do practice EMDR for trauma-related symptoms, I conceptualize through an attachment lens and aim to help clients connect with their bodies and learn to ground themselves through somatic techniques.
