Hello, my name is Cristina and I specialize in helping individuals navigate the challenges of trauma and depression with the use of Gestalt Therapy and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). I believe therapy is a collaborative process between a therapist and a client. My goal is to create a safe environment where my clients can process thoughts and feelings to get a deeper and clearer understanding of underlying issues. The reality is that therapy is an uncomfortable and vulnerable process, but together we can work through difficult and often very private issues.

Welcome.

I work with adults of all ages, and couples. I have seen individuals who feel "something" is missing in their lives and are looking to find their path and passion in life. In both long-term and short-term therapy, we work connecting past issues when relevant to the present to understand why we make the choices we do. We also work to build tools to develop the life one wants to live.

Hi, and welcome. I’m a licensed psychologist who is passionate about helping people navigate life’s challenges with greater confidence, self-understanding, and resilience.

Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship concerns, life transitions, or simply feeling stuck, I work collaboratively with you to understand your experiences and identify practical tools for change.

Do you struggle with anxiety, your identity, or navigating non-traditional relationships?
I help people reconnect with their inner wisdom, develop stronger relationships, and to get out of survival mode. I offer a compassionate space where all parts of you are welcome especially those parts that have been silenced or shamed.
My approach is client centered, weaving together elements from various modalities such as Internal Family Systems/Parts Work (holding different parts of yourself, even when they conflict) and somatic awareness. We can also use EMDR for healing trauma. My approach is gentle, warm, and affirming.

Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just not like yourself? Life feels overwhelming sometimes, doesn’t it? Maybe you’re feeling stressed, or unsure how to move forward. You might be carrying the weight of past hurts, struggling in relationships, or feeling disconnected from yourself and others. Maybe you’ve experienced trauma, and the ripple effects are showing up in ways you didn’t expect—like anxiety, self-doubt, or a lingering sense that something is missing.

I see therapy as a meeting between two human beings shaped by their own wounds and histories. Often, what brings people in isn’t just a problem, but something deeper that hasn’t yet found a way to be known. My work is influenced by psychodynamic and Jungian perspectives, exploring patterns, early experiences, and the unconscious. We may also explore your dreams—because often, the parts of you that need attention don’t speak in words alone. I offer presence and honesty, creating space for you to feel witnessed and understood, while challenging you directly on what may be keeping you stuck. I offer virtual therapy, serving West LA.

I see therapy as a partnership—a collaboration between you and me. We’ll work together to identify goals that matter to you, and as you grow and change, those goals might shift, too. That’s okay. We can adjust our plan anytime to make sure it continues to feel meaningful and relevant. I work with children, adolescents, and adults who feel disconnected, unfulfilled, unsure of themselves, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. I provide support for anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship difficulties, helping clients build empowerment, meaningful connection, and improved emotional well-being—at their own pace.

Are you looking for personal growth, finding clarity in some area of your life, working through complex emotions, wanting to challenge your negative thinking patterns, or learning new techniques to cope with difficult situations? There is no one size fits all approach to therapy. Your story, experiences, collections of struggles are unique to you. I will help to empower you to identify and overcome barriers, see your strengths, and become the best version of yourself.

I work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families who are navigating anxiety, depression, low self-worth, and grief. Many of my clients come in feeling stuck in patterns they don’t fully understand—overthinking, self-doubt, emotional ups and downs, or disconnection in their relationships. Therapy is a space where we slow things down, make sense of what you’re experiencing, and begin to shift those patterns in a way that actually lasts.
Our work won’t just be about talking—it will be about helping you better understand yourself, respond differently to what you’re feeling, and build a stronger, more stable sense of who you are.

Hi, I am really glad you're here.
Many of the people I work with struggle quietly — on the outside they may look capable and put together, but on the inside there is anxiety, perfectionism, or a constant fear of not being good enough. Humans are not meant to do this alone. We are relational beings, and healing happens in connection. Together, we explore the parts of you shaped by past wounds while strengthening the parts that feel grounded, aligned, and true.
Our work together is collaborative, thoughtful, and honest. We move at your pace. You are not here to be fixed. You are here to feel more aligned with yourself and your life.

Trauma leaves us feeling broken and disconnected from who we truly are. You may be fed up with feeling lonely, worthless, or even unlovable. You may not remember a time things didn’t feel this way. But one thing is for certain: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to understand the root of these feelings. You’re ready to understand yourself better and cultivate deeper self-trust and authenticity. Most of all, you’re ready to return home to yourself.

You’re self-aware, insightful, and probably already understand your patterns logically, but you still find yourself stuck in the same cycles. Maybe you overthink every interaction, lose yourself in relationships, struggle to trust yourself, or feel emotionally overwhelmed in ways that don’t fully make sense. Many of my clients come to me after years of traditional talk therapy feeling frustrated that insight alone has not created the change they were hoping for.
