HOPE. EMPOWER. GROWTH. CHANGE.

Who is Cristina?

My goal as a therapist is to assist clients to build a more fulfilling life by fostering an understanding of themselves and the complexity of our human emotion. I understand that it can be intimidating to seek support through life's unexpected challenges. I believe that creating an environment of unconditional support, trust, and understanding is crucial to the therapeutic relationship

​

As a former hospital social worker, my unique experience lends special insight into the needs of individuals experiencing chronic illness and loss. My current and past work experience provides me with skills and knowledge to journey with our clients. 

​

I obtained my Bachelor's in Science degree from the University of Texas at Austin in Human Development and Family Sciences as well as my Masters in Social Work from the University of Houston.  I am also fluent in Spanish.

​

I draw from these important educational and work experiences to work with clients who are facing life transition issues, conflict in relationships, and psychosocial adjustment to health issues.  My approach is rooted in compassion, mutual respect toward each client, and mindfulness of the dignity of each human person. 

​

Everyone's needs and experiences are different. I will work with our clients to find a therapy style works best for that individual.
