A note from Cristina:

My name is Cristina, and I am an MFT Trainee currently pursuing my M.A. in Couple & Family Therapy at Alliant International University. I earned my B.A. in Psychology and Gender & Sexualities Studies from the University of San Francisco, and I have completed over 600 hours of certified yoga teacher training. I am enthusiastic about being on this next step of my journey in service to you.

As a therapist, I am a collaborator and a witness seeking to understand your unique perspective and experience. I aim to offer a safe, nonjudgemental space for exploring and honoring your vulnerability. I will be your biggest cheerleader as you get clear on the changes you would like to see in your life and find the courage to turn your dreams into reality.

 I believe that every person has the potential to live a full and meaningful life when supported in a safe and affirming relationship. Because each person is different, I hold no assumptions or expectations about what your life and relationships should look like. Instead, we will cultivate presence with what is, and curiosity about where you’d like to grow. We will be gentle when things don’t go as planned and we will protect your peace when things are not in your control. I am unapologetically on your side and deeply committed to your growth. 

I am honored to work with adults and teenagers of all intersectional identities and walks of life in the context of individual, couple, and family therapy sessions. I feel especially called to work with people that are:

  • Queer-identified
  • Navigating neurodivergence
  • Seeking a changed relationship with substances  
  • Yearning to discover their life’s purpose
  • Desiring harmony in their relationships with friends, family, and partners (including non-monogamous partnerships)
  • Adjusting to changing life circumstances 
  • Hoping to cultivate self-awareness  

I am guided by my desire for you to feel safe, seen, and heard – and to support your journey towards the liberating power of self-love.
