Welcome! I'm Cristina, a licensed mental health therapist with a spirit of kindness and a passion for helping others navigate life's natural flow. My practice is a sanctuary for individuals seeking to rediscover balance, heal emotional wounds, and foster a deeper connection with themselves and others. In our sessions, I blend the power of evidence-based modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy with a holistic, whole-person approach. I believe that true healing encompasses the mind, body, and spirit. I strive to create a nurturing environment where all aspects of your being are honored.

I earned my bachelor’s and master’s degree in Social Work from Indiana University-Purdue University and I'm a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW). I have worked in multiple school districts and home-based settings with children, adolescents, and families. Additionally, I have experience working with a variety of clients, specializing in working with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, self-harm, trauma, executive functioning skills, relational issues, and personal growth.

Are you ready to reclaim your inner strength, resilience, and peace of mind? EMDR therapy can help you break free from the grip of anxiety/panic, grief/loss, phobias/fears, relationship struggles, or negative self beliefs. With over a decade of experience as a therapist, I have witnessed the profound impact that unresolved traumas and distressing experiences can have on an individual's mental and emotional well-being. My approach centers on creating a safe, compassionate & non-judgmental space where you can change your negative thoughts, overwhelming feelings & traumatic memories.

Do your racing thoughts rarely give you a moment of peace? Do you feel judged when you try to explain to others how your past has impacted you? Someone brings up an innocuous topic and suddenly you’re panicking, heart pounding, looking for an exit. You may not even know what exactly is triggering you, but you’re searching for somewhere you can feel safe. As my client, you’re safe with me. There's no judgement or unrealistic expectations when you step into my office. My mission as a therapist is to walk alongside you through the struggles you're facing in order to accomplish the goals which are most important to you.

Are you struggling with your child's behavior? Is your child experiencing anxiety or difficulties in social relationships? Do you feel your child is often angry? Play therapy can help! Children learn to understand the world and their place in it through play. Young children respond to and process emotional experiences and traumatic events in ways that are very different from adults and older children. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience working in the school system and have a certification in trauma.
