Hi there, I'm Cristien!
I believe in a strength-based approach to therapy. Everyone has skills and abilities we can build on. People do not heal in isolation. Our families, society, experiences, work, home life, and economic and political systems all inform who we are. I work with artists, activists, musicians, and alternative community members.
My focus
I work with individuals, relationships, families, and groups such as artist collectives, activist projects, bands, and work collaborations. I support people with addiction, boundary setting, burnout, compassion fatigue, trauma, grief, relationship violence, and childhood abuse.
My approach
I use a strength-based, embodied, and politicized approach that integrates anti-racist and collective liberation-centered sensibilities. Our families, society, experiences, work environments, home life, and the systems we live in all inform who we are, our access to resources, and our approaches to healing.
