Perhaps you're ready to do "the work" but find yourself feeling stuck and unsure where to start. If you're burnt out, struggling in your relationships, or adjusting to a huge change such as motherhood, you've come to the right space.

I will hold space for you free of judgment, so you can truly see yourself in an effort to connect to your own internal guidance system and tap into your authenticity.

Becoming a parent, going through pregnancy and childbirth or loss will impact your relationships (with others and yourself) in ways you never imagined. And lets not talk about parenting and the incredible difficulty involved with being responsible for other small humans. You will stand in the mirror and the person staring back at you is unfamiliar. You are irritable, tired and on edge all of the time. Your self esteem is low and you are feeling guilt and worry almost all the time. It all seems impossible and no one truly understands. You are not alone. Not alone in the pain. And you don't have to be alone in the healing.

I am here to help you learn to love yourself, to have patience, and to look at problems from a different and positive perspective so that you can find new ways to resolve them. Maybe something happened in life that has affected you and despite your efforts, it has been hard to cope with, leading to stress, hopelessness, anxiety, or depression.

I’m Dr. Christina Zavalza, a licensed clinical psychologist. I believe we are in an era of empowering ourselves unlike any we have seen before. We are becoming more aware of personal, social and cultural issues that can make it difficult to become our best and most powerful selves.

Since 2012, I have gained experience working with individuals in various mental health settings including non-profits, community-based settings, law enforcement, schools, and county mental health.

Are you finding yourself starting over, and finding it difficult to adjust to your new way of life. Does it feel hard to move forward and feels like your dragging your feet. Maybe you are in the middle of a divorce or break-up. All of these changes can be difficult to manage on your own. The intense feelings can be depression, anxiety, fear of the unknown, loneliness, struggling to make new connections, sabotaging your chances of love/friendships, and sense of loss. The experience can make you feel worthless, unloved, unseen and feeling like a failure.

I believe that most people can benefit from therapy at some point in their lives. Whether you struggle with persistent, troubling thoughts or feelings, or overwhelmed by events and life changes that are out of your control, therapy can help.

***I have openings for new clients*** I have always been interested in working with people who don't quite feel like they "fit the mold." I particularly enjoy working with parents and their kids - esp. homeschoolers and folks with ADHD! I use play with purpose to help facilitate communication, awareness, and the therapeutic process. I use a lot of art, crafts & writing to help people express themselves. You will not find a one-size-fits-all approach here, instead we will work together to find an individualized approach that helps empower everyone involved and help you meet your goals! I am telehealth only right now.
