Cristina Oliver, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

You might be here because your emotions feel overwhelming or hard to manage. Maybe small things turn into big reactions, arguments keep repeating in your relationships, or you find yourself overthinking conversations long after they happen. You may care deeply about the people in your life, but still feel stuck in patterns you wish you could change. If that sounds familiar, you are not alone. I work with people who feel emotions intensely and want to understand themselves better while building more stable, secure relationships. I also work with couples who care about each other but find themselves caught in painful cycles of conflict, distance, or misunderstanding. If you want things to feel calmer, clearer, and more connected, therapy can help. In our work together, we focus on both understanding and skills. I use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to help you notice patterns in your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together, we slow things down so you can understand what is happening inside and learn practical ways to respond differently in the moments that matter most. Therapy with me is collaborative. You bring the expertise about your life and experiences. I bring training, perspective, and tools that can help you move forward. My goal is to create a space where you feel seen, understood, and supported while we work together to build the skills and insight that help you feel more grounded, confident, and connected in your life and relationships.
