Estoy especializada en problemas de autoestima, dependencia emocional y manejo de las emociones negativas. Con mi método aprenderás a quererte y aceptarte por quien eres, no por lo que el mundo te diga que tienes que ser. A menudo trabajo con personas que tratan/acaban de salir de relaciones tóxicas o dependientes en las que sienten que necesitan a la otra persona mas que a si mismos. La vida es demasiado corta para vivir en guerra con uno mismo, por eso gran parte de mi método consiste en cambiar paso a paso la forma en que te tratas y te hablas. Primera consulta telefonica gratis (15 min).

Todos hemos tenido nuestros altibajos. La vida puede volverse realmente fea y a veces es dura. Podemos perder a las personas que amamos, perder relaciones, pero lo más aterrador es cuando nos perdemos a nosotros mismos. ¿Alguna vez te has preguntado por qué sigues reviviendo esos recuerdos traumáticos? ¿Ha tenido problemas para levantarse de la cama por la mañana? Podrías ser alguien que incluso cuestione su existencia. ¿Es usted un padre frustrado que no puede controlar las rabietas o las actitudes de su hijo adolescente? Christina proporciona evaluaciones para inmigración.

Creo que la terapia se basa en la identidad. Esto significa que la injusticia social no puede ignorarse en el trabajo terapéutico. Como Terapeuta Relacional, creo que la relación terapéutica es un lugar para sanar traumas pasados y resolver cualquiera de los problemas que traes a nuestras sesiones. Como terapeuta de Artes Expresivas, sé que la expresión creativa es otro lenguaje que puede usarse para profundizar su comprensión de lo que está trabajando. La creatividad me permite ser flexible y encontrar las herramientas que son relevantes para sus necesidades y preferencias.

La terapia es un esfuerzo colaborativo en el camino hacia la curación. Me sentiría honrado de estar a su lado durante este proceso. Mi investigación se centra en la descolonización de la salud mental, que es la restauración y aceptación de prácticas y valores culturales que alguna vez fueron abandonados, eliminados u ocultos como resultado del colonialismo. Soy una latina de primera generación que puede ayudarlo a comprender los problemas culturales, la incorporación de sus propias prácticas tradicionales en el tratamiento y cómo crear una mayor aceptación de sí misma.

I believe that people are resilient with many talents and special attributes that can many times get ignored, silenced, rejected or neglected. Experiences of rejection, neglect, or discrimination may lead us to deny our true selves or feel fearful to be our authentic selves. When we do not get to be our true selves, we may find that we are moving away from the things that bring us joy and peace. In my practice, I strive to foster a compassionate, non-judgmental space to support you in doing the courageous work of shedding unhelpful patterns, narratives and/or traumas that may be preventing you from living authentically.

Female Therapists

Does it matter what gender my therapist is?

In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.

Should I see a female therapist?

Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.

Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?

Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.

How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?

It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
