About
Cristina
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience supporting adults through anxiety, depression, grief and loss, trauma, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. I strive to create a warm, safe, and supportive space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to move toward meaningful change. I am passionate about helping people reconnect with their strengths, values, and sense of purpose. I believe therapy can be a place to slow down, understand patterns, build self-awareness, and create a life that feels more grounded, intentional, and fulfilling.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, traveling, being outdoors, practicing yoga, reading, and finding moments of peace and connection in everyday life.
