I’m a registered associate clinical social worker and LGBTQ2STGI+ affirmative therapist with over a decade in the film industry as an International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE) camera department member. Trained in emotionally focused therapy (EFT) and certified in trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), palliative care, and SafeTALK suicide prevention, I work through a holistic, anti-oppressive lens that integrates parts work, somatic awareness, and creative expression.

As a psychotherapist and Jungian analyst, I will help you tap inner resources to better understand and deal with life challenges. We will explore who the 'you' is under anxiety, fears, depression, difficult relationships, and low esteem. As we navigate through outer and inner times of confusion, you will learn anxiety management and effective communication techniques, and find ways to keep going through depression and grief. During our work together we will also explore how dreams, art, journaling, sandtray, and creative imagination play an active part in healing. I specialize in working with individuals and couples who want to connect more deeply with their inner lives, their dreams, and unrealized potentials. I pay close attention to the ignored, repressed, or out of tune parts of your psyche that stand in the way of living up to your full potential. Together we will work on exploring hidden aspects and dynamics of the self. As we do this, individuals often find outer life and relationships changing and find themselves more in harmony with innate wisdom and guidance. My interest is to also help you find and hold onto a sense of meaning, fulfillment, and self-worth in times of chaos, confusion, and disorientation.

Have you found yourself questioning why you’re acting a certain way, but you can’t understand why? Have you felt out of control with anxious thoughts, disconnected from your intuition, or stuck trying to distinguish between anxiety and intuition? Do you have a desire to learn more about yourself, but you’re unsure where to start? What if I were to tell you that you already have everything you need within you? I am a Latina relational psychodynamic psychologist based in Los Angeles who helps people reconnect with themselves and their inner strengths. I provide compassionate, evidence-based telehealth therapy to clients across California. I am deeply committed to providing culturally attuned, non-judgmental care that honors your identity, background, and lived experience. I actively collaborate with you to create a therapeutic space where you feel safe, understood, and empowered. We go at your pace. Healing happens in connection. I am here to witness and embrace you.

It would be an honor to walk alongside you on your journey.

If you are here, you have probably done enough self-work to know insight alone is not the problem. You can explain your patterns. You understand your history. And yet something keeps repeating; in your relationships, your body, your choices. You are tired of talking about your life without actually changing how it feels to live it. I work with people who are psychologically minded and quietly dissatisfied with surface-level therapy. In our work together, I do not rush to reassure or manage symptoms. We pay attention to emotional patterns, defenses, desire, and the parts of you that learned how to survive long before you had language for what was happening. This is not about quick relief. It is about understanding what is actually driving the struggle. Therapy with me is active, relational, and honest. At times it is steady and reflective; at others it is direct and challenging. I will name patterns as they show up, including the ones that appear between us, because real change does not happen at a distance. We are not here to make you more comfortable with a life that does not fit you. We are here to help you live with more agency, integrity, and self-trust. This work asks something of you. It requires curiosity, tolerance for discomfort, and a willingness to be seen honestly. In return, it offers something rare: a deeper relationship with yourself and the possibility of living in a way that feels more authentic.

My name is Christina, and I am a therapist offering trauma, relationship dynamics, identity exploration, nervous system regulation, and holistic healing. My ideal clients are artists, outsiders, freaks, queer folks, spiritually curious humans, metaphysicians, and people who don’t quite fit into conventional boxes. Many come to me struggling with trauma, anxiety, unhealthy relationship patterns, identity exploration, burnout, grief, emotional overwhelm, or feeling disconnected from themselves. I help clients better understand their inner world, regulate their nervous systems, heal old wounds, build healthier relationships, and reconnect with their authenticity, pleasure, creativity, and emotional freedom through an integrative, personalized approach. My specialties are trauma, relationship dynamics, identity exploration, nervous system regulation, and holistic healing. I offer integrative approaches blending eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), internal family systems (IFS), somatic therapy, mindfulness, spirituality, and relational empathy to help clients heal deeply, reconnect with themselves, and uncover their true selves. My history working with EMDR, somatic embodiment, inner child healing, shadow work, mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and parts work has been extensive, profound, and sometimes hilarious. Over the years, I have supported individuals navigating addiction, codependency, complex posttraumatic stress (PTSD), and religious trauma, helping clients process painful experiences, reconnect with themselves, and create healthier patterns. I’m so stoked to meet you. My sessions are always very safe and often filled with humor, curiosity, play, expression, and wonder. I know it can be hard to ask for help, and scrolling through therapist directories can be confusing. But you found my page for some reason. Either I’m a hard yes or a hard no. Either way, I’m glad you found me.

Ultimately, I’m passionate about supporting you. You choose what intrinsic and extrinsic life experiences you'd prefer to have. Tell me what's not working in your life, what emotions you wish to no longer feel, and what behaviors you'd like to no longer repeat. We'll target, identify & dismantle the cycles that create and maintain those unwanted patterns. We'll create the direction, motivation and progress that allows you to build the external outcomes you'd like to reach, as well as the emotions you want to consistently feel. I'm very assertive in my therapeutic process. I hold my clients accountable and point out patterns that create and maintain unwanted habits, thoughts, emotions, behaviors or outcomes. I have a very goal oriented approach to therapy, I place a higher value on creating measurable progress as opposed to spending extended time deeply developing insight around the past.

Since each client is unique, my therapy approach is designed just for you and your specific needs. Research has shown a correlation between Mental Health and Physical Health, so an approach addressing both could lead to the ultimate therapeutic results. A holistic approach will best serve you in dealing with depression, anxiety, stress, and emotional relationship issues. This is what I specifically do. I also use Yoga Therapy to enhance the needs of specific clients. I am a great listener, compassionate, and non-judgmental. If you are serious about changing your life areas you think need improvements; I am here to support and accompany you in your journey to self-discovery in balancing your life to the better outcome you deserve.
