Therapists in Oakland, CA

Even though it may be difficult to reach out at this time. Are you struggling? Are you having a challenging time managing things or going through a painful change? Do you need some help, support or assistance? This is more common than you may think and you are not alone. I am a bilingual and bicultural LMFT in Spanish and English and can work with multiple generations. Sometimes getting some help for ourselves or our loved ones can make a meaningful difference.

I hope this message finds you in a moment of peace amidst the challenges you may be facing. As your therapist, with a background in trauma, working with children, adolescents, and adults, I want to take a moment to acknowledge the bravery and strength it takes to confront the difficulties you are experiencing. I understand that navigating through life challenges and trauma can feel like an overwhelming journey, especially for young minds. However, please know that you are not alone in this process. Together, we will work through the pain, unpack the emotions, and pave the path towards healing and resilience.

I have worked with children, families, individuals and couples in many different capacities before finding my calling as a therapist. I have specialized training in couples and marriage counseling, family counseling, PTSD/trauma, adoption and foster care, anxiety and depression, and other mental illness, life changes, grief and loss. I also work with adolescents who are struggling in school or with behavior problems, defiance, and depression and anxiety. I work with couples and families for a variety of reasons. I can help you too.

Christine strives to create a safe, warm, and supportive environment in which clients can freely express themselves, their heartaches and struggles without guilt or shame. She is passionate in assisting her clients to explore those “small steps” which can lead to positive changes and a life of hope rather than despair.

Life is full of twists and turns and can become overwhelming at times. Therapy is an effective way to deal with life’s roadblocks. Seeking help is often misunderstood but should be seen as a strength. Let me help guide you on the right path. I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families, joining with them to process their thoughts and emotions, and create clear, achievable goals. I believe that there are reasons for all behaviors and once understood can be life changing.

I have been in private practice for over 25 years. I specialize in working with couples and families, teens and children. I also run three womens groups per week and treat those suffering from addictions, mood disorders, depression, and codependency issues. I also have a strong spiritual focus in my practice and strive to help others create peaceful collaboration within their relationships. I have a bias towards saving marriages whenever possible.
