Hi, I'm cristina.
Have you experienced something overwhelming—whether it was too fast, too painful, too much, or even too little for too long? Do you feel that past events or ongoing struggles continue to affect your present life, keeping you stuck in patterns of pain or disconnection? Are you burdened by negative beliefs about yourself or the world around you, and long for a more balanced, compassionate perspective?
These concerns often trace back to unresolved trauma, which can leave deep, lasting marks on our emotional and psychological well-being. I specialize in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and a trauma-informed approach to therapy, which can help you understand the roots of what you’re experiencing and create lasting change in your life. If this resonates with you and you're ready to begin the healing process, I invite you to reach out for a complimentary 15-minute consultation. Together, we can explore how trauma therapy can support your journey toward healing and wholeness. I look forward to connecting with you soon

My Expertise
Trauma is the response to experiences where your sense of safety feels threatened and you're left feeling broken, helpless, and voiceless. Trauma is almost always an underlying cause of various mental health conditions.
Unhealed trauma can show up as anxiety, depression, eating disorders, personality or mood disorders, codependency, physical illness, and other symptoms. I help you change your life and gently heal your trauma by processing shame, and guilt.
EMDR is an evidence-based therapy that helps you reprocess painful memories and experiences. It regulates the nervous system and reshapes brain patterns.
EMDR can help balance your mood and make you feel much more at peace, as well as improve communication, boundaries, and relationships. Many clients are surprised by how efficient and permanent the effect of EMDR is.
The 9-hour EMDR Intensive is a carefully structured process designed to help you make significant progress in a condensed time frame.
An EMDR intensive offers a powerful opportunity to quickly process trauma related to PTSD, relational trauma, phobias, anxiety, and more. In just two days, this immersive therapy can help you heal from past wounds, lessen the impact of trauma on your daily life, and promote significant personal growth.
