More about Cristina

My approach to treating OCD is very collaborative. I'll co-create a therapeutic plan of action with you that challenges you without being overwhelming. My intention is to keep you involved in your own healing throughout the process. You are in a great place to receive support for your symptoms. My intention is to help you feel better long term, and I'm committed to helping you figure out what will support that. Beyond OCD, I've been trained in cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, mindfulness practices, and trauma-focused yoga therapy.

Good experience

Cristina is amazing! I feel very comfortable speaking with her.I feel like she understands how I communicate and provides excellent tools in helping me reach my goals. I look forward to speaking with her weekly. Even when I don't feel like Im progressing, Cristina reminds me of the tools to utilize. With Cristina’s help, I am realizing mental health is a journey thats not hopeless. Thank you to Cristina and whoever her supervisor is who assigned her to me. She is amazing.
