Hi there, I'm Cristina!

I'm passionate about working with children, adolescents, adults, and families, providing a supportive and safe space for growth and healing. I believe everyone can change, and I'm committed to helping my clients discover their strength and find their pathways in life.

My focus

I work with individuals and families dealing with relationship and communication struggles, self-identity exploration, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, mood disorders, and life transitions. I offer a supportive and non-judgmental space to explore emotional and psychological concerns.

My approach

As a therapist grounded in the psychoanalytical tradition, I help clients explore the deeper, often unconscious aspects of their emotional lives. Through careful listening and exploration of dreams, memories, and relational dynamics, we work together to bring hidden thoughts and feelings to the surface.

My communication style

My communication style is warm, respectful, and collaborative. I strive to create a space where you feel genuinely heard, understood, and supported without judgment. Clients often describe my approach as grounded and calm, with a balance of gentle curiosity and honest reflection.

My journey to mental healthcare

I'm committed to building a safe, nonjudgmental, and collaborative relationship with my clients, helping them find the change and improvement they need to live a happier and more fulfilling life.

My goals for you

My focus is on helping you clarify what truly matters and supporting you in taking meaningful steps toward those goals. I take a collaborative and personalized approach, helping you identify patterns that may be getting in the way, develop new coping strategies, and build on your existing strengths.

Our first session

In our first few sessions, you can expect a welcoming, judgment-free environment where we'll begin by getting to know one another, exploring your goals, and identifying the areas you'd like to focus on. We'll work at a pace that feels comfortable to you.
